The protagonist Chu Yanzhou comes from China in 2100 and was the top scorer in the national college entrance examination that year. After the college entrance examination, he looked up information about the rupture era in ancient China at home. When he read about the history around 304 AD, he accidentally traveled through time because of the strong depression and anger of "knowing that the chaos was coming, but no one could stop it."
He came to a parallel world, the time roughly corresponds to AD 303. The dynastic structure, clan politics, state and county system, border tribes, and refugee issues in this world are highly similar to the situation around the end of the Western Jin Dynasty in China. However, it is not a replica of real history, but an imaginary troubled world that can be rewritten by the protagonist.
There are no magic spells in this world, but there is a mature Jianghu system. Famous sword sects, escort bureaus, gangs, assassin organizations, medical sects and strange sects are scattered across various states. Martial arts pay attention to muscles, blood, breathing, strength and the use of weapons. Top masters can defeat one against ten, kill generals and capture flags, and attack at night to break the situation, but they cannot change the world out of thin air. When troubled times come, rivers and lakes are no longer just rivers and lakes, sects begin to rely on aristocratic families, powerful men and military towns, escort routes become food routes, and knights will become dead soldiers or soldiers who protect the people.
More importantly, there is no wilderness outside Zhongzhou. There are seas of grass and snowfields in the north, sand sea trade routes and mountain kingdom alliances in the west, archipelago sea states and pirate royal courts in the east, hot and humid continents and ancient spice kingdoms in the south, and heavily armored legions and trade federations in the far west. Zhongzhou is only the core continent with the most dense population and the most mature institutions in the world, but it is not the only center of civilization.

It's very interesting. The author with a lot of brains is different.
