The country-style chronicle uses the fate of three fictional ancient oriental countries to symbolize three life choices and attitudes, and contains the experiences of three generations. Man Dynasty: Because the Man royal family respects the past and highly respects the cultural customs of the previous dynasty, this period is a period of revival and growth of literary and artistic ethics. It is divided into three stages: "The Western Alliance with the Barbarians", "The Dynasty and Yu Dynasty", and "The Emperor's Resurgence", with the Man Dynasty ruling the Central Plains as the background. Due to the chaos in the Central Plains caused by the Niju Dynasty in the northwest region and the Suluo Dynasty in the southwest region, Qi was exhausted. Yi Lanqi rebelled and seized power to found the country, ending the numerology. The Lan Dynasty: started with the Lan family seizing power. The story takes place in Qing'an Ji. Because the current emperor Lan Xu was the second monarch of the Lan family, the founding monarch died early, and the chaos in the Central Plains had not been clarified during his reign, and he had no heirs. As a result, the Central Plains centered on the Lan Dynasty and spread to the south, southwest, northwest, north, east, and southeast to form separatist forces of varying strengths and weaknesses. Some of them regard the Lan family as their enemies and are incompatible with each other, some just don't want to be bound, and as sects they live on the fringes of the Lan Dynasty's rule, and some maintain intricate and close relationships with the Lan family. Lan Xuan ascended the throne to start a new dynasty, reshape the dynasty's outline, and return to the Qing'an era.
