Two periods in history are always avoided, left unspoken.
One is the Sixteen Kingdoms and Northern and Southern Dynasties; the other is the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
After Liu Chengxi dies defending his country, he doesn't know whether he transmigrated or was reincarnated. In any case, he is reborn in one of those periods: at the end of the Western Jin dynasty, just before the upheaval of the Five Barbarians begins.
Liu Chengxi is already tired of slaughter. At first, he plans to lead his family through the chaos and carve out a secluded paradise.
But once you've transmigrated, how can you possibly live an ordinary life?
Circumstances push Liu Chengxi forward, step by step, and he grows with every one.
The space to live and prosper is the foundation of a people's survival and development. How could we let foreign tribes lay claim to China's Central Plains?
Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever rivers flow, is Han land. Those who dare to provoke the mighty Han will be punished, however far away they may be.
The synopsis can only say so much. Please read the story itself.
This is not a conventional power fantasy. The protagonist has his own ideas and goes through a process of growth. There are no contrived conflicts, face-slapping, or pretending to be weak before revealing one's strength, only life and death in political struggles and blood and fire on the battlefield. If that's not for you, please don't read.
Of course, the protagonist is neither a coward nor a eunuch.
