They say the general trend of the world is that it will unite after a long period of division, and divide after a long period of unity.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion plunged the Nine Provinces into chaos, the foundations of the Han dynasty crumbled, and warlords battled for control of the Central Plains. When the realm was divided among three powers, everyone knew how the chaos would end: the Mandate of Heaven belonged to Jin.
A modern man transmigrates to the end of the Han dynasty and becomes Xun An, the fourth young master of the Yingchuan Xun clan and a close relative of Xun Yu and Xun You.
With no System and no overpowered golden finger, he relies solely on his far-ahead knowledge of history and extraordinary memory, together with the deep roots of his Yingchuan aristocratic family, to establish himself in the Jianghuai region step by step.
Most of the story follows the timeline of official history, incorporating classic scenes from Romance of the Three Kingdoms and meticulous historical research.
With a base in Lujiang, Xun An implements imperial trade laws, redistributes land to secure the people's livelihood, builds a Yangtze River navy, recruits fierce generals such as Taishi Ci and Zheng Bao, and forges marital alliances with the great families of Jiangdong, gradually turning the whole realm into a chessboard.
He believes that he has changed the Mandate of Heaven through his own efforts, rewriting the old course in which the Sima clan unified the realm.
But the Xun clan has studied the Book of Changes for generations, using divination to foretell the fortunes of the state. When the time finally comes to ascend the throne and establish a nation, the ruler and his ministers agree to name it Jin after all, and call the era Taikang.
Written purely out of interest, this novel takes its time depicting domestic governance, farming and warfare, struggles among aristocratic families, and the grand vision of unifying the realm, forging a new path at the end of the Han dynasty with the Xun clan founding the Great Jin.
The general trend of the world is that it will unite after a long period of division, and divide after a long period of unity.
After the Three Kingdoms' struggles, the land ultimately belongs to Jin.
After transmigrating to the end of the Han dynasty, Xun An becomes the fourth young master of the Yingchuan Xun family. His elder brother is Xun Yu, a man of exceptional talent who can guide a ruler.
