The second year of Jianyan, ninth month of autumn.
Zanying Fortress on Wuma Mountain, Qingyuan Prefecture, Hebei West Circuit, has fallen.
The Jin army cuts off the water supply. The Southern Court watches without coming to the rescue. The loyal defenders of the two river regions lie dead and wounded across the land.
Zhao Zhen, a history researcher from Zanhuang County in a later age,
transmigrates and becomes Zhao Zhen, the eighteenth son of Emperor Huizong of Song, known as Prince Xin.
He spent half his life studying the tragedy of Wuma Mountain Fortress.
Now he has fallen into that same desperate situation a thousand years in the past.
He will not flee south, beg to surrender, submit as a vassal, or merely scrape by.
Armed with his deep knowledge of history, he will rally the scattered soldiers and heroes of Hebei,
save the realm from collapse and rescue the people from misery.
The land is in ruins. I will hold it together!
In the chaos of Jianyan, I will claim supremacy!
