In the seventh year of Guanghe, during the Eastern Han dynasty, snow and wind shrouded Luoyang in gloom.
The young officer He Tong accompanies General-in-Chief He Jin into the palace, only to discover that his lord, a man who rose from butchering pigs, is acting strangely and muttering about things no one has ever heard of, such as "the inertia of history." In a split-second decision, He Tong steps in front of He Jin and misses the chance to kill the Ten Eunuchs. History turns course from that moment on.
He Jin is still He Jin, yet he is no longer the same He Jin. The consciousness of a twenty-first-century wage slave has, by a twist of fate, transmigrated into his body. He remembers the original history: he was supposed to die in a palace coup, Dong Zhuo was supposed to enter the capital, and the land was supposed to descend into chaos. But now he has survived, so the future will have to be lived differently.
From Luoyang to Yanzhou, from three hundred personal guards to three hundred thousand Yellow Turban rebels submitting to his cause, He Jin and the young officer He Tong carve a path through this chaotic age. They promote land reclamation, drill a new army, improve farming tools, and develop gunpowder. While the warlords fight tooth and nail over territory, He Jin is thinking about one thing: how to help the common people survive.
But after a mysterious silk manuscript appears, He Tong gradually realizes that the world is far bigger than he imagined. Beyond the Western Regions lie the Kushan Empire, Parthia, and Rome. Ancient legends conceal the truth of the "Morning Star Envoys" and the "Cosmic Dark Hunt." And the old Taoist priest Yu Ji seems to know something...
This is a stirring epic about an ordinary man helping a transmigrator defy fate and rewrite history, as well as a grand adventure spanning the Three Kingdoms and the wider world, linking myth to the future. When the five planets align, He Tong will finally understand: the Han realm is not all he has to protect.
