Curator note

Traveling back in time to the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Xu Ping passed the imperial examination with flying colors, but offended the Empress Dowager and was sent to serve as an official in Lingnan. Starting as a minor official on the frontier, he rose through the ranks and finally achieved success, writing his own legend in the Song Dynasty. Emerging from the chaos of the Five Dynasties period, the Northern Song Dynasty saw the annihilation of powerful clans, the absence of gentry, and the underdevelopment of clan society. The dramatic shifts in social class were unprecedented in peaceful times. Under the rule of the Song Dynasty, there were no longer any lowly people; it was an era where birth did not matter. The son of a servant could become a prime minister, and a common soldier could rise to the rank of army commander. This was the best of times, when anything was possible for an individual. This was the worst of times, when a large, well-equipped standing army suffered repeated defeats, ultimately dragging the entire nation into the abyss. This era changed Xu Ping, and Xu Ping, in turn, changed this era. The rich are the wealthiest in the world; the noble are the most powerful officials. Following in the footsteps of a time traveler, we look back at the distant splendor of the Song Dynasty.

Chen Xi looked at the soldier who had thrown a boulder weighing several hundred pounds away, speechless as he gazed at the heavens. Was this really the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? It seems illogical that Lü Bu single-handedly broke through an army of ten thousand. Zhao Zilong is truly possessed by the dragon spirit; he can cleave mountains with a single sword strike. Is this really a human? Dian Wei single-handedly protected Cao Cao as they fought their way out of the enemy camp, casually slaughtering thousands of enemy infantry and cavalry. His combat prowess was off the charts! Something's not right here, is it? Chen Xi casually picked up a goose feather fan and waved it, creating a strong wind. He sighed, "This is a myth, isn't it?
