[Historical Intrigue] [Dashing Literary Genius] [Decisive and Ruthless] [Conquer the World]
A top-tier star among historians of the Song Dynasty in later generations wakes from a dream to find himself transformed into the notorious Ximen Daguangren of Qinghe County during the Xuanhe era of the Northern Song!
Half a month remains before Wu Song spills blood at Lion Tower, and only a few years before the Jingkang Disaster brings the fall of the Central Plains.
With beautiful wives and concubines by his side and a fortune at his disposal, how can he sit by and watch himself die by the sword, while his homeland is turned into a living hell?
Without a System to rely on, he will use his vast knowledge and foresight to turn the situation around!
He stops the use of arsenic, befriends Wu Song, takes control of the salt trade, and raises a local militia. His poetry, calligraphy, and painting dazzle Shandong, while his Illustrated Antiquities of the Xuanhe Era reaches the emperor's ears!
At court, the Six Villains, Cai Jing and Wang Fu among them, wield power, while the upright officials do nothing but talk and bring ruin to the country. Beyond the borders, Jurchen cavalry sharpen their blades and eye the Central Plains.
From a local strongman in Qinghe County, to a literary giant in Bianjing, to a warlord wielding a sword in Shandong during a chaotic age.
He trains a new army from humble beginnings and turns the court upside down.
He gathers beauties in Qinghe County and embraces imperial princesses in the Genyue Gardens.
See how Ximen Qing, reborn in this life, seizes the last dazzling moments of the Xuanhe era, saves a collapsing empire, executes traitors, gets drunk with beauties in his arms, and rules the world when sober!
