In the sixth year of Jingyao, Chengdu was on the verge of falling.
Liu Chen, Prince of Beidi, knelt before the temple of Emperor Zhaolie, ready to die for the Han.
Liu Zhen, a historical researcher from a later age, was injured while visiting the Zhaolie Temple. The souls of two people merged, and he was reborn.
He awakened the Arcane Manual of Xuanyuan's Art of the Inner Chambers, gaining both the ancient people's fierce spirit and knowledge of modern civilization.
Emperor Liu Shan was set on surrendering, the court officials were scrambling to save themselves, and the realm of Shu Han seemed destined to be lost.
He refused to die. Fighting his way out of the encirclement, he fled toward the wild lands of Nanzhong.
He introduced Champa rice to end the famine, restructured the court with the Three Departments and Six Ministries, used paper money and flying cash to promote trade, and established prefectural and county schools to nurture talent.
He developed mines and metallurgy, researched new weapons and devices, and built up the strength of the state.
He allied with the tribes, fought Cao Wei, held off Eastern Wu, and advanced carefully to reclaim lost lands.
First he recovered Yizhou, then secured the Qin River valley, restoring the prestige of the Han.
One man founded the Han, and Guangwu founded it a second time. Now Liu Chen would found the Han a third time!
