Qin Yi transmigrated into the body of the son-in-law of the Marquis of Jingbei in the Great Yue Dynasty, but before he could even enjoy his wealth, an imperial edict crashed down—"The Marquis of Jingbei has committed treason; his entire family is exiled three thousand miles away!" The dignified Marquis of Jingbei's family was branded a traitor by the emperor, his father-in-law died on the battlefield, and the whole family was banished to the desolate wilderness. Even more absurdly, the exile entourage included: a graceful mother-in-law, a charming sister-in-law, and a gentle and virtuous sister-in-law… On the road to exile, there was a lack of food and medicine, barbarian raids, and pursuit by imperial assassins. Fortunately, Qin Yi had the "Eternal Character Role-Playing System." Tonight, he'll play the "King of Thieves," emptying the emperor's treasury and living a life of luxury on his journey into exile. Tomorrow, he'll become the "Medicine Saint," his medical skills saving countless lives. The day after, he'll transform into Huo Qubing, defeating the barbarians until they cry for their mothers. The day after that, he'll cosplay as Cao Cao, turning the court upside down. The Great Yue Emperor pounds his chest in despair: "This scoundrel stole my empire and my beloved concubine!"

    Check out this novel, "Song Shinian," a truly captivating time-travel story. The author's writing is mature and skillful, demonstrating a deep understanding of history. The plot is ingeniously conceived, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the book features numerous alluring beauties. The descriptions of love and romance are profound and absurd, leaving the reader wanting more. However, the book has a slow pace and is not a mindless, enjoyable read. Those who prefer light novels should avoid this one and suffer the consequences!
