This novel was written at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and has a very profound historical atmosphere. The first half of the novel does not change history. The protagonist is following the ups and downs of history, interacting with Wen Tianxiang, fighting and assisting Ding Daquan, Jia Sidao defending Ezhou City, and participating in the Ezhou peace talks with Kublai Khan... The protagonist is silently accumulating strength as history is ups and downs. It wasn't until the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty that he desperately saved Wen Tianxiang, and then he began his vigorous journey into the world.

"Ye Zhuohua is a person who descended from heaven. His birth date is unknown, and he died in the 26th year of the Qin Dynasty. He has an unknown appearance and a bright temperament. He was a member of the Qin Palace at first. He was good at farming and was promoted to Nongzheng. He had outstanding political achievements during his tenure and established a school. He was promoted to the great minister of agriculture for more than ten years, and he offended Long Yan, demoted him to a commoner, and drove him away from Xianyang. In memory of his kindness, he was granted the title of Princess Yunzhong. Six years later, he died of illness. " "The person who erected the monument——Ying Zheng." Feng Yuan stared at the inscription with a "wisdom" look in his eyes, shook his head and began to pull the soil under the tombstone. After only two or three clicks, a blind cat could kill a mouse and pulled out a double-eared copper tripod. She looked left and right, and when she saw a familiar inscription inside the belly of the tripod, her eyes went dark again and again. Xi Mingwei looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy: "What's wrong? Did you write some kind of curse that will kill you if you touch it?" It won't curse him, right? I don't know why, and there's nothing written that I can't read? Feng Yuan shook his head with a sad face, Xi Mingwei Maomao poked his head in and leaned over to take a look curiously. — I have seen you in the past, a daughter of extraordinary talent, unparalleled elegance, and the best in the world. I am a suspicious person, and I once suspected that I had misunderstood you. Every time I think about it, my heart aches. In the age of great strife, you and I are deceitful, and we are at war with each other. We can't help ourselves. It burdens you at a time when your life is at stake, and harms you invisibly. It is the fault of one person. Under the beacon fire, even for joy and for eternity, it will eventually become vain. Suddenly I complained that the words were simple and the book could not express the thousands of emotions in my heart. If I have any regrets, I have no chance to be friends with you in the Qin and Jin Dynasties, and I have no chance to sing the peach blossoms for you. Love cannot be forced. If there is a spirit under Qingquan, don't be surprised if you hope. ——Zheng, twenty-sixth year, handwritten by Yu Yunzhong.
