    The male protagonist is the deposed emperor of Han, who ascends the throne after the death of Emperor Zhao of Han. Empress Dowager Shangguan may have a role. The story combines historical fiction, national destiny, fantasy cultivation, and a system-free world. The male protagonist focuses on development, while the female protagonist is recruited as a post-apocalyptic pioneer. She begins by slaying a dragon and is transported to the Han Dynasty, becoming the deposed emperor Liu He. Time and space are distorted, requiring careful planning. All seventy-two concubines in the harem are led astray.
