[History] A Journey Through Every Dynasty

After a century of catastrophe, humanity fought its way into the stars. Only after settling down did people realize just how much they had lost. Zhao Xia is one of the pioneers searching for their roots. He steps into the currents of time and space, traveling through the brilliant tapestry of history.

[One] [Pre-Qin] A hundred schools contend, and I have no regrets about witnessing this glorious age

He traveled through the states with Confucius, witnessed Shang Yang's reforms, and held young Zheng in his arms.

Zhao Xia: Completely satisfied.

[Two] [Qin] The Qin armies march proudly, uniting Huaxia

Pretending to be an immortal, working on infrastructure, improving people's lives, admiring young Zheng's peerless looks up close, and discussing the art of governing with Prince Fusu.

Zhao Xia: Good thing he has a pretty good memory [sigh.jpg]

[Three] [Han] The orchids are lush, the chrysanthemums fragrant; I think of my beloved and cannot forget him

There are certainly plenty of "beloveds" in this era: Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Sima Qian. He watches their youthful brilliance across a thousand years.

[Four] [Three Kingdoms] A gentleman like Yu, in the prime of his life

He'd planned to run between the three factions, but Xun Yu quickly lured him over to Cao Cao's camp. Still, that's fine. Cao Cao's camp has plenty of heartthrobs too.

Zhao Xia: How can I get the other heartthrobs to join Cao Cao's camp? Their boss Cao is really a great boss.

[Five] [Wei and Jin] I build my home among the people, yet no clamor of carriages or horses reaches me

He takes a close-up look at the elegant ways of the Wei and Jin eras, enjoying wine by winding streams and losing himself in the landscape.

[Six] [Tang] Lanling's fine wine is rich with turmeric's fragrance, poured into a jade cup, it glows like amber

A galaxy of brilliant stars

[Seven] [Song] The world is filled with upright energy, taking countless forms

Those great figures from the textbooks

[Eight] [Ming] The emperor guards the nation's borders, the monarch dies defending the realm

Notes:

1. The result of studying Chinese history.

2. Lots of setting bugs, and a powerful golden finger.

3. A chronological, episodic account set in a parallel world.
