In 184 AD, the Year of the Wood Rat, the seventh year of Emperor Ling's Guanghe reign.
The imperial court was corrupt, eunuchs and the emperor's maternal relatives fought without end, the proscription of partisans left everyone in fear, border wars raged, and the state grew weaker by the day.
That year, a great drought left the whole country without a harvest. Yet the court showed no mercy to the people, imposing heavy taxes and levies!
The Azure Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise! In the Year of the Wood Rat, good fortune shall come to all under heaven!
At Zhang Jue's call, desperate, impoverished farmers rose in rebellion. Twenty-eight commanderies across the country's seven provinces answered, and their uprising swept across the land like a wildfire!
By August, Zhang Jue had died of illness.
In October, Zhang Liang was trapped in Guangzong. When the city fell, he was executed.
In November, Zhang Bao died in battle at Xiaquyang, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled.
In December, Emperor Ling changed the era name to Zhongping. The court and people celebrated, unaware that in that cold winter, a soul from another world had arrived in the Eastern Han. In this turbulent age, she would leave behind a brilliant legacy!
