Era background: On the surface, it is the third year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty (AD 938), but in fact it is the "Pseudo Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" - because there is a hidden "witchcraft" force in the Jianghuai River Basin, which breaks the balance of power in real history. The Wu Fang is composed of the relics of ancient witches. They do not compete for hegemony but control the ability of "spiritual perception" (can sense the energy of ancient objects, interpret ancient inscriptions, slightly adjust the local climate, have no combat attributes, and are more like cultural inheritance skills), and have become the targets of various countries to secretly attract or fear.
Power distribution:
Later Jin (in the north, Shi Jingtang was in power, attached to the Khitan, and internal conflicts were acute);
Southern Tang (a powerful country in the south, Li Minggang proclaimed himself emperor, intending to annex Jianghuai);
Ziqing Jiedushi (Shandong area, Wang Jingwu was in power, semi-independent, wanted to protect itself during the Jin and Tang Dynasties);
Wu Fang (in the middle of Jianghuai River, with "Lingnu" as the core, the leader Wang Chengye is in power, and internally divided into the "conservative faction" (which advocates seclusion) and the "tongshi faction" (which advocates limited cooperation with the outside world));
Refugees and small forces (in troubled times, a large number of refugees gathered in the cracks of various countries, some formed small armed groups, and most of them struggled for survival).
Core imagination point: Wu Fang's "spiritual perception" ability needs to be triggered by ancient artifacts (such as jade congs and bone flutes), and the modern cultural relic "plain jade cong" carried by the male protagonist through time (the research object of his graduate school) happens to be the "spirit-inducing device" that Wu Fang is looking for, becoming the key to connecting the male protagonist and Wu Fang and changing the direction of troubled times.
