A young modern historian, Lu Chenzhou, traveled to Bianjing in the late Northern Song Dynasty. With a thousand years of historical knowledge, he wanted to win over the world with the strange woman Zhao Mingli, but he had to break the iron wall of the times. In the end, he ignited the fire of continuation of civilization in despair and completed the tragic transformation from "historical bystander" to "history burden bearer".
Known despair and unknown hope. When a person knows the outcome of all tragedies, how should he find meaning in the destined torrent of history?
The male protagonist: Lu Chenzhou (associate professor of the Department of Modern History), traveled through time and was a poor scholar in Bianjing who failed the imperial examination during the Zongzhenghe period of Song Dynasty.
Heroine: Zhao Mingli, the daughter of Zhao Long, the general of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Her maternal line is a side branch of the clan. Proficient in martial arts and righteousness, she later grew up to be a female general fighting against the Jin Dynasty.
