The Song-Xia War is strictly based on official historical records such as the *History of Song* and the *Continuation of the Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government*. Spanning from 1018 to 1046, the modern-day heroine Zhang Bingke falls into the bustling and dreamlike city of Bianjing, experiencing firsthand the everyday life and cultural charm of the Song Dynasty.

But who will she ultimately choose? Who will she love most? Please savor the love story of the Northern Song Dynasty and uncover this mystery. The gentle and benevolent Emperor Renzong of Song, Zhao Zhen; Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor who dominated the Western Xia Dynasty; and Yelü Zongzhen, who ruled the Liao Dynasty, are thus drawn into a complex and intertwined love affair spanning three lifetimes and entanglements of family and country.
