The second book focuses on the romantic entanglements between a time-traveling woman and a military governor, the emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, and a prince of the Liao Dynasty, depicting the history from the Later Jin, Liao, Later Han, and Later Zhou Dynasties to the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty.
