    Late Tang Dynasty① The Tang Dynasty was at its zenith, yet its major policy failures could not be reversed without a brilliant and capable leader. As the saying goes, rise and fall are inevitable; the greatest prosperity must eventually decline. The glorious Tang Dynasty, after three hundred years of turmoil, finally crumbled. That year, Chen Congjin arrived in this world. He would end this chaotic era② by traveling to the late Tang Dynasty, becoming a starving refugee on the verge of death. Liu Jing opened his eyes to see the fragmentation of the empire by regional warlords, endless warfare, widespread suffering, countless starving corpses, and the desolation of thousands of miles without smoke from cooking fires. He also saw the romance of warring armies and the overwhelming power of a tiger. This was the worst of times, and also the best of times. Looking back on the chaos and humiliation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, he decided to give the Tang Dynasty a dignified farewell.

    While others write about "becoming emperor," he writes about "establishing humanity"—a northern epic reconstructing China with potatoes and laws. If you open this book expecting to see the protagonist conquer the world with swords and spears, and become emperor in three years, please close the book. But if you wish to witness a revolution that, without the bloodshed of a palace massacre, completely rewrites the fate of the nation; if you believe that true benevolence lies not in burning books and burying scholars alive, but in establishing women's colleges, abolishing slavery, and setting up granaries; then please step into this world where the sun hangs in the air—here are no typical wish-fulfillment novel tropes, only how a single potato can leverage three hundred years of national destiny. With astonishing skill, the author transforms the darkest hour after the An Lushan Rebellion into an experimental field for the reconstruction of civilization. Li Qingtian did not defy the heavens with a system, but instead used the peace bought with the lives of four thousand soldiers to fulfill a promise: "Under my rule, the old will not be destitute, and the young will not be without food." Thus we see: While others write about war, he writes about the aftermath of war: the corpses of Yan soldiers are burned to prevent plague, the bones of civilians are wrapped in brocade and buried together in the "Tomb of Peace for the People"; while others write about power struggles, he writes about establishing trust through systems: public trials of spies, dissemination of the "Edict for the Relief of Loyal Ministers," and the story of "Yang the Commoner" shaking the literati; while others write about farming, he writes about the revival of the people's hearts: children burying seeds by graves, merchants from the north shouting "Peace in the North is better than in Chang'an," and old farmers kneeling to offer soil, saying "The earth's spirit has not died." The most awe-inspiring part is not the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry's defeat of the enemy, but the 50,000-strong army circling the field ridges without trampling a single seedling of spring wheat. The character portrayals are unforgettable: Guo Ziyi is loyal but not foolish, preferring to borrow troops from the northern border rather than let the Uyghurs enter the pass; Pugu Huai'en is grieved but not rebellious, raising troops to purge the emperor's corrupt advisors but refusing to surrender to the northern border; Yang Mi, wielding the pen under the name of "a commoner of the world," issues edicts faster than a knife; Emperor Daizong abdicates on his deathbed not because of coercion, but because he cannot bear to see another drop of blood shed in Chang'an. The book also subtly reveals a grand vision: from the Yingzhou Rebellion to the An Lushan Rebellion, from the Tubo in Longyou to the eastward expansion of the Abbasid Caliphate, the author reveals that the decline of the Tang Dynasty was not due to a single traitor, but because the entire system lost the ability to "make the people dare to believe in tomorrow." Li Qingtian's new policies are a response to this: opening a women's college, abolishing slavery, implementing a potato tax, establishing Ever-Normal Granaries… each policy directly addresses the root causes of the old order's ills. Fantasy elements? A lotus flower in the left pupil, a demonic pattern in the right, a sword containing the whispers of a celestial demon—but these never overshadow the main theme. They are merely mirrors reflecting human nature: the greatest demon is never in the abyss, but in the despair of the human heart towards order. Ultimately, when Li Qingtian ascended the throne, he did not sit on the dragon throne, but stood below the jade steps, announcing five new policies. When the Heavenly Demon demanded a blood sacrifice, he pushed open the palace doors—outside were not mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but the lights of Wenhua Academy, the sounds of the night market, and the green of new potato fields. "This is my blood sacrifice—to offer peace to all people and atone for the destruction of the old world." This is not a wish-fulfillment story; it is a tragic epic of mortals rebuilding China. It tells us: true destiny lies not in the prophecies of the Tui Bei Tu, but in the moment a child dares to bury a seed by a grave; the true Great Wall lies not in its bricks and stones, but in the will of the people that "the northern border is the Great Wall." If you crave a work that possesses both the starkness of the *Zizhi Tongjian* and the warmth of the *Classic of Poetry* ("The people are weary, but they can finally enjoy a modest life"); if you believe that historical turning points often begin with a bowl of hot porridge, a new seedling, or the words, "With the northern border secured, the people have no worries"—then please open this book. For here, gods and demons will eventually retreat, but the human spirit will never die…

    I recently came across a new book about a genius PhD who travels back to the Tang Dynasty to save the country from the An Lushan Rebellion. It's not exaggerated, it's logical, and there are various developments after the war. The protagonist even has a little bit of superpowers. I think it has great potential. The author has a wealth of knowledge in all subjects, and I found it very addictive.

    The Zhou Dynasty's system of posthumous titles stated, "A ruler renowned for his virtue and benevolence is called Xuan." This emphasized that a monarch was famous throughout the land for his benevolence and good governance. However, even emperors like Xuanzong in history could not escape the historical cycle of decline. What if a nobody within the modern system transmigrated into the body of Li Chen, the Tang Emperor Xuanzong, who was about to be enthroned by eunuchs? How would he save the declining Tang Empire, and how would he escape the historical cycle of decline? (Author's self-recommendation; Volume 1 is complete)
