In the first year of the Zhenghe reign of Emperor Ji of Song, the territory was expanded by a thousand miles, and the court was filled with joy, unaware that a crisis was already emerging. In just sixteen years, the world was in turmoil, with warlords rising up in the north and south. The Western Army was a drop in the ocean, utterly ineffective. The once prosperous Tokyo had become a living hell. In such chaos, who could stand idly by? Who wouldn't become an accomplice? The people were treated like dirt, called "two-legged sheep." Meanwhile, a young archer from Qingzhou was heading towards the Hehuang region with the commander of the First Army.

The word "" (shào) has two meanings: first, to continue; second, to guide. In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Soon after, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst great anticipation, succeeding the Song Dynasty and changing the era name to Jianyan. However, within three months, Li Gang was dismissed as prime minister, Chen Dong was killed, Yue Fei was expelled from the army, Zong Ze was abandoned in Tokyo, and the anti-Jin deployment in Hebei was completely dismantled... After so many efforts, the civil and military officials finally unified their thinking and decided to support the Emperor Zhao's glorious anti-Jin route of heading south to Huaidian and then Yangzhou. However, as soon as he set off, after paying homage to the Taoist patriarch at the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, this Zhao official plunged headfirst into the world-famous Nine Dragon Well. When he came out, he did not recognize who his trusted confidants were! I must resist the Jin! But where are my trusted confidants?! This is a sincere cry from a soul nine hundred years in the future. Having reluctantly inherited the name of the Song Dynasty, he is determined to guide the court and the world onto a new path. Therefore, it is called Shaosong.

The new book, "The New Book," has been released. It tells the story of a time traveler's battle against the chosen one of the worlds during the Xin Dynasty. Looking back over a thousand years, the palaces of the Han dynasty still stand! It was the third year of Emperor Zhao of Han's Yuanfeng reign. Powerful ministers held sway in the court, the Xiongnu were not yet defeated, and the Silk Road remained a thread that could not be severed... Although Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are gone, the pioneering spirit of the Han people will never cease, and new heroes are about to emerge! In the Gobi Desert near Dunhuang, at a post station called Xuanquanzhi, a lowly clerk named Ren Hong threw down his pen and angrily shouted: "A true man should not be without ambition; he should emulate Zhang Qian and Fu Jiezi, achieving merit in foreign lands to gain titles and honors. How can he spend his life confined to the world of books and inkstones?" Book club group: 1021675508. VIP group (disciple level and above): 496717165.

His ideal life is to get by in peace, renting out a modest home and making enough to live on without ever getting rich. At least, that was the plan before a bunch of lunatic creatures moved into his house. A remote, dilapidated mansion, a bunch of abnormal nonhuman creatures, and an employment contract from “the gods.” Put those three things together, and Hao Ren becomes the busiest landlord and most capable babysitter in the world. And so begins 101Votes6.1MRecs2.6MFans

Curator note

Hao Ren, true to his name, is a good person whose ideal is to live a peaceful life as a landlord who is neither poor nor rich—at least that's how it was before a bunch of crazy creatures moved into his house. A secluded, dilapidated house, a bunch of somewhat abnormal non-human creatures, and a labor contract from a "god"—these three elements combined make Hao Ren the busiest landlord and most capable nanny in the world. Thus begins the most chaotic, strangest, and most abnormal landlord-tenant story. "From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a sinking ship..."

I thought it was a realistic depiction of urban life, but the setting was changed without warning! The revival of spiritual energy and the reappearance of Taoist practices—this is probably the story of a modern civilization transforming into a civilization of cultivation. This book is still quite long-winded. Book club group: 666-464-52. VIP group: 465-455-757

(My new book, "The New Book," has been released. It tells the story of a time traveler's battle against the chosen one of the worlds during the Xin Dynasty.) At the end of the Warring States period, China experienced a great upheaval unprecedented in a thousand years. Some people are born into noble families. Some of them are noblemen. He was reborn as Hei Fu, a lowly soldier in the Qin state, a minor figure in the Qin bamboo slips of Yunmeng. To avoid dying in the ravine and to take control of his own destiny, he struggled to climb upwards. Fortunately, he was born in a great era. The six kingdoms were defeated, and the world was unified! A thousand years of bloodline could not withstand the power of military merit bestowed upon one. The nobles and powerful of the six kingdoms were all trampled underfoot by Qin officials. Hei Fu could only laugh and ask: Are kings and generals born with a special destiny? He conquered the Baiyue in the south, repelled the Xiongnu in the north, forced the Di and Qiang tribes to flee west, and sent warships eastward. Within the six directions, all was the Emperor's land. How did history change under his influence? Qin Shi Huang was destined to die, and the empire would soon be divided. As a Qin official, what choice should one make: to fuel the flames or to try and save the day?
