The Jingkang Humiliation: the realm lay in ruins, and the road south was strewn with corpses.
As everyone sank into despair, Prince Zhao Huan activated the "Chinese Torchfire" System in the face of death, swearing to summon the heroes of China and rebuild a mighty Song!
A hidden dragon waiting in the depths?
In a ruined temple, he summoned the young Yue Fei, cut down every invading Jurchen soldier, and lit the first spark of resistance!
Shunned at court?
He joined forces with the statesman Fan Zhongyan, turning his impoverished fief into a powerful military domain, a tiger crouched over the Huai River, waiting for the right moment!
The court was in disarray, the Jurchens invaded south, and Yingtian Prefecture stood on the brink of disaster!
As the officials prepared to flee south and the emperor's younger brother trembled in fear, Zhao Huan led the invincible army he had summoned, including Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, in a bold march north to turn the tide!
One battle stabilized the Southern Song dynasty and brought his prestige to its peak!
Yet his achievements made the emperor wary, and in return came schemes and false accusations, along with the cold-blooded "Feast That Stripped the Generals of Their Commands."
This time, Zhao Huan chose to... flip the table!
"March on the capital to purge the emperor's treacherous advisers! Put every villain to death!"
From now on, I will decide the fate of the Great Song!
Behind me stand China's heroes from throughout history. Before me lies the unfinished journey to strike straight at the Jurchen capital!
In the end, Zhao Huan ascended the throne. He reformed the country at home and launched a northern campaign abroad, leading the greatest heroes of history straight to the Jurchen capital, destroying the Jin dynasty and fulfilling his great ambition to "avenge the Jingkang Humiliation and rebuild a mighty Song." Thus he composed a thrilling epic of a comeback.
