More than 70 years ago, Emperor An of Jin Dynasty doted on his concubine and her young son, which aroused the fear of Queen Chen, so he colluded with the imperial attendants to poison Emperor An, killed the concubine, mother and son, and installed his own young emperor on the throne. Later, the Chen family proclaimed themselves Empress Dowager Chang and came to govern the country, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Sima family. The two families fell into disputes for nearly ten years, leading to the decline of national power and the people's livelihood.
In the first year of Tianyuan, Liu Kuang usurped the throne. The country was named Song and its capital was Jiankang. At that time, everything was in ruins waiting to be revitalized, so we rested and recuperated with the people. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, the country's power gradually grew. Later, he died of illness in the seventh year of Tianyuan and passed the throne to his eldest son.
Emperor Xuan succeeded to the throne at the age of thirty-eight and reigned for twenty-seven years. When he was sixty years old, the prince died of illness before him, and he did not establish another prince. Due to the decline in energy in his later years, the military power was scattered among the princes, which gradually led to the discord among the princes, which eventually led to the disaster of the three kings and a bloodbath for ten miles.

Among them, the third prince, the tenth prince, and the eleventh prince died young. The eldest prince died suddenly in the thirteenth year of Chengtian.
Among the remaining five sons, the 24-year-old prince Liu Xuanming was the most favored by the Song Emperor, while the seventh prince Liu Xuanye, who was three years older than him, was the most powerful and highly appreciated.
In the twenty-ninth year of Chengtian, Xiao Cong, the younger brother of Queen Xiao Jinxiu, was betrayed by an adviser, and all the personal and material evidence were available. Soon, the father-in-law, uncle and his son were imprisoned to await trial. The Xiao family suffered heavy losses, and the status of the prince was in danger, and an open and secret struggle surrounding the position of the crown prince began...
