The Western Jin dynasty fell, the Central Plains were lost, and the iron hooves of the Five Barbarians trampled the land. For a thousand miles, bones lay white; countless people were driven from their homes, and Chinese civilization plunged into the deepest darkness. A modern soul arrived by chance in this war-torn era. Witnessing the people’s suffering, he refused to let history repeat itself. Using modern knowledge, he shelters refugees, strengthens the army, promotes farming, and spreads education. He wages war across the land amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood, crushing the rival factions and ending the fighting. He breaks the thousand-year stranglehold of the great clans and casts aside the old systems and rites. On the ancestral lands of China, the smoke of war finally clears and the realm rises anew. An era belonging to the people begins.
