In the last years of Dayin, the harsh government was fiercer than that of tigers. Drought locusts came one after another. The land of Longyou was thousands of miles bare, and people died of hunger everywhere.
Liu Ren, a commoner farmer, was trying to save his life by guarding a small portion of his farmland, but he could not escape the government's exploitation and bullying. The ancestral land was taken away, the neighbors died tragically, the ancestral hall collapsed, and even a full meal and a straw shed became a luxury. When he was desperate, he hid in the mountains, but caught a glimpse of a spark in the desperate situation - the refugees in Qingliang Mountain, the righteous village owners, and the people who were unwilling to be slaves, all became firewood in his hands.
He did not have Liu Bang's position as the pavilion chief of Sishui, and he did not have Zhu Yuanzhang's shelter in Huangjue Temple. He only had an innocent heart of "making a living for the people." From gathering justice in the mountains to appeasing the refugees, from resisting officers and soldiers to rectifying the administration of officials, he worked step by step, gathering people's hearts with his benevolence, and protecting the common people with his iron and blood.
This is a struggle that shakes the sky, and it is also a legend in which ordinary people rewrite the world. See how Liu Ren rose from the quagmire, became king in troubled times, and finally became a commoner emperor, creating a bright future.
