A sociology graduate student transmigrates into the body of Liu Jian, a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
Before Zhang Jue dies, he entrusts Liu Jian with his daughter and the hopes of the Way of Great Peace. But Liu Jian has no intention of becoming another Zhang Jue. Talisman water cannot save the world, and neither can swords. What can save it is giving farmers land to till and letting ordinary people live without having to kneel.
He lays down three rules: take on the powerful clans, distribute the land, and build a new army.
Liu Jian says, “I never wanted to rule the world. I want everyone in it to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and the dignity to live their lives.”
