In the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, the world is in chaos and human life is low.
Li Gui'an, a graduate student in the Department of History, traveled through time. When he opened his eyes, he saw his father and brother newly mourned, and refugees besieging the fort. When the outside world "changes children to eat", this dilapidated fort is his only place to stand.
Fortunately, he knew about farming, water conservancy, and how to squeeze life out of desperate situations.
When rogue bandits came, he led the old and weak to defend in danger; when famine came, he led women and children to dig through the mountains and fields. When corpses were everywhere, the sound of reading could be heard from his fortress.
Troubled times wanted to engulf him, but he made this fortress the only fireworks for hundreds of miles.
Some people advised him to become king and strive for hegemony, but he shook his head: "I built a fortress, not a tomb."
All he wants to do is to let those who want to live live well.
A rare and excellent novel
