After transmigrating as Cai Jing's fifth son, Cai Tiao knows that bustling Bianjing is nothing but a mirage.
The Jingkang Crisis is coming. Countless peerless beauties and innocent commoners will become playthings of foreign invaders.
To save these historical figures whose tragic fates haunt him, Cai Tiao acts like a profligate young master obsessed with ancient bronzes and stones.
In secret, however, he amasses a fortune of a million strings of cash and trains a vast private army at Liangshan Marsh.
When a hundred thousand Jurchen cavalry thunder south, believing they can slaughter the Han people like sheep,
what awaits them is a Macedonian phalanx stretching for miles, elite heavy cavalry and light cavalry, and the thunder of over a thousand mighty cannons!
At the Yellow River crossing, like a god descended from heaven, he drives back the arrogant Jurchen nobility.
The princesses he rescues throw themselves into his arms amid the heaps of corpses, weeping and swearing they will marry no one but him.
But when Emperor Qinzong begs him for help from inside a prisoner cart, promising to make him a prince and prime minister,
Cai Tiao only sneers, takes the Imperial Jade Seal, and turns to hand the foolish emperor over to the Jin soldiers.
"The Great Song's realm is rotten to the core. From this day on, I will protect this land!"
