I, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, set up a chess game that spans a hundred years at the end of my life.
One hundred and thirty years later, my soul woke up in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, only to find that I had become the most humiliating emperor - Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie.
But what Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao didn't know was that the "Xiandi" they controlled was just my stand-in. The real me has long since disappeared into Nanyang, activating the spark of revival that I buried a hundred years ago: technical drawings that transcend the times, the Hidden Lin Guards that have been lurking for generations, and the passwords for the descendants of the twenty-eight generals that only I know.
When Cao Cao used the false emperor to command the princes and was proud to control the world, I raised the banner of Guangwu in Nanyang.
When the people of the world laugh at the impending demise of the Han Dynasty, my Mo Dao has cut off the Xiliang cavalry, and my gunpowder is shaking the Central Plains.
In the seventeenth year of Jian'an's reign, I personally led a large army to Tongguan and sent out that shocking message to the whole world:
"Cao Mengde, you have supported Emperor Xian of Han for sixteen years - it is a lie!"
This is a redemption of oneself.
An ultimate game spanning time and space.
And I am both the chess player and the most critical piece in the game.
