   The idea originated from reading Li Yibing's biography of Su Dongpo, where I discovered that Su Dongpo's youngest son, Su Dun, who died young, was the same age as Li Qingzhao and Emperor Huizong of Song. In 1084, a 21-year-old youth transmigrated into Su Dun, Su Dongpo's youngest son who died young. At this time—there were still 9 years before his father Su Dongpo was exiled to the ends of the earth; 17 years before the marriage of the talented Li Qingzhao; and 33 years before the fall of Bianjing and the devastation of the Jingkang Incident. He had to follow his father through exile, organize trade groups, turn Hainan Island into a maritime trade and military base, subdue three of the "Six Traitors" and bring them to his service, honestly work and train Emperor Huizong, prevent the Jingkang Incident by eliminating Zhao Mingcheng, and marry the talented Li Qingzhao.

    Years ago, Shen Lie supported a young Tibetan nobleman who returned to Tibet to establish himself, promising to persuade Tibet to submit to the Central Plains. Shen Lie casually advised him: "There's no need to rush in the current chaotic Central Plains. If you truly wish, wait until the Central Plains are unified. Even a hundred years from now, your descendants can inherit this ambition and go to Liangzhou to bring Tibet into the Chinese territory." Unexpectedly, this descendant of the Tibetan leader was extremely devoted to his ancestral teachings, waiting patiently for the true unification of the Central Plains. After the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, seeing the limited territory and weak power of the Song Dynasty, he did not recognize it as a unified dynasty; only after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty and the unification of the country did he finally fulfill his ancestor's wish. In 1247 AD, Sakya Pandita, the leader of the Tibetan Sakya sect, and Godan, the King of Western Liang of the Mongols, held talks at the White Pagoda Temple in Liangzhou, formally reaching an agreement.
