During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the realm was falling apart.
Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and brought Khitan cavalry to trample the Central Plains. Smoke from the fires of war filled the land. People ate their own children to survive, and for thousands of miles there was scorched earth and bones strewn across the fields. All living things suffered.
After his soul transmigrates into this chaotic age, Qian Hongzun becomes the heir of Wuyue.
He knows that bowing his head will not bring lasting peace. Making concessions to save himself will only invite the wolf into the house.
The realm will ultimately fall beneath the Khitans' iron hooves.
But these shattered lands should not be ruled by foreign tribes and traitors.
The old order is about to collapse. This chaotic realm will at last welcome its destined ruler.
