   This is a fictional story based on ancient Chinese texts, drawing inspiration from the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It features no rebirth, no system, no time travel, and no romantic pairing. The female protagonist is the aunt of Li Yu, the last ruler of the Southern Tang. While fictionalized based on historical facts, the female protagonist is aloof, world-weary, and extremely Buddhist; she even chants sutras to pray for the deceased after committing murder.

    This is the story of Liu Yu/Liu Jinu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song dynasty, the first emperor of the Southern Dynasties. His main life was during the Eastern Jin dynasty. The following is my initial motivation for writing this book. Whenever I read the historical record of Liu Yu being captured and imprisoned by Diao Kui due to gambling debts, I often think about the desolation and despair he felt at that time; how he survived the lowest point in his life after Wang Mi paid off his debts; what kind of transformation he underwent, becoming so decisive and brave in battle; how he overcame numerous difficulties and defeated one enemy after another after joining the army… This leads me to think about the many lost and helpless people in modern society who are harmed by gambling or online gambling. My heart is filled with emotion. After much consideration and preparation, I decided to pick up my pen again and write an inspirational story about Liu Yu. Thus, this book came into being…
