Fifteen years of nightmares, every night was a bloody dusk where all the ancestors were wiped out.
Shui Lingyun, a graduate of the Department of History, was entangled by a thousand-year blood curse. Finally, due to a bond that spanned time and space, he embarked on a journey to the ancient capital of Wuyue to find his roots. The moment his fingertips touched the ruined monument, time and space were distorted, and he actually traveled back to the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and became the ancestor he cared about day and night - a nameless soldier under the command of Shui Qiu Zhaoguan, a loyal minister of Wu and Yue.
At that time, the country of Wu and Yue was weak, surrounded by powerful enemies, traitors were in power, and the massacre of the ancestors was imminent.
Shui Lingyun, armed with modern knowledge, relied on his junior high school biology knowledge to crack down on plagues, use water conservancy projects to cure floods, use gunpowder and compound bows to innovate armaments, and even bring instant noodles, mahjong, and football into troubled times, step by step to counterattack the pillars of a nation from a prisoner.
In the court, he outsmarted Lin Wenyan, Li Song and other traitors, and exposed the conspiracy of collaborating with the enemy; on the battlefield, he lured the enemy deep, burned grain and grass, and defeated the armies of the Southern Tang and Later Zhou Dynasties; in people's livelihood, he promoted Yi Xue, promoted new farmers, and opened up sea trade, making Wuyue a pure land in troubled times.
He was sworn in with his ancestors and protected the Shuiqiu family; he knew and stayed with Princess Yaohua, composing a love affair in troubled times; he also witnessed Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao mutiny, helped Wu Yue return to the Song Dynasty smoothly, and rewritten the fate of his family and country.
When the mission is completed, the time and space channel is opened again. On one side is the modern homeland, on the other side are the brothers and lovers of the five generations. How should he choose?
This is a redemption that spans a thousand years, a legend of meritorious service in troubled times, and a magnificent epic about loyalty, family ties, family and country.
