The first year of Yongjia, in the final years of the Western Jin dynasty.
Pei Ziyu never imagined he would go from being a PhD in history to the legitimate eldest son of the Pei family.
The moment he opened his eyes, his father was under house arrest in Chang'an, and the family was on the brink of collapse.
Colleagues were being murdered, assassins lurked everywhere, and the Xiongnu were poised to strike.
Worse still, in three months Liu Yuan would raise an army in rebellion. The Five Barbarians would ravage China, and the Central Plains would fall for three hundred years.
Fortunately, he had the ability to foresee the future, allowing him a glimpse of what was about to happen.
The price: every glimpse brought splitting headaches, and at worst, a steady stream of nosebleeds.
A hopeless situation? Hell difficulty from the start?
Not a chance!
With nothing but the clothes on his back, he would stir up the court.
With his power of foresight, he would turn the tide when all seemed lost.
The Five Barbarians want to rule the Central Plains? Get back to the grasslands!
In this lifetime, China will not fall!
