Liu Tian, a time traveler who knew the history of the Song Dynasty, took aim at Huizong's weakness of being addicted to Taoism. He entered the palace and offered the theory of destiny from the sky, which won Huizong's heart. He replaced Lin Lingsu as the favored Taoist. He used monstrous words to deceive the Lord as a springboard, hiding his ambition to change fate against heaven or control troubled times, and rewrite the fate of himself and the Song Dynasty.
