Zhao Cheng, a freshman majoring in history at a university, accidentally travels back in time to Mongolia in 1206 and mysteriously appears in Genghis Khan's Golden Horde. The story mainly begins in the spring of 1218. Although he is Han Chinese, he grew up in Mongolia. The various things he hears and sees allow him to navigate the world with the most powerful people in Mongolia and even the world. However, the seeds of rebellion have already been sown in his heart... Mongols, people from the Western Regions, people from the Western Xia, people from the Jin Dynasty, and people from the Song Dynasty—one regime and one nation after another appeared before him, some vanishing into thin air, some collapsing and disintegrating, some stubbornly resisting, some living in ignominy, and some rising to glory. Shamanism, Manichaeism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism have either flourished, innovated, perished, consolidated, resisted, or been reborn. Emperors, civil officials, and military generals reacted with disdain, shame, admiration, worship, or fear. Loyalty and rebellion, massacre and pardon, alliance and confrontation, conspiracy and open scheme, family feuds and clan hatred, power and wealth, centralization and decentralization—all these elements combine to create a series of epic and moving tales of heroism. And under the heavens, a brand new emperor appeared.
