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.

They weren't struck by lightning when they were transported to a chaotic world; it was their own choice. Some wanted to become kings and dominate, some wanted to relieve the people from their suffering, and some wanted to use their own strength to prevent the last barbaric conquest of civilization, thereby rewriting the history of the Chinese nation. Of course, some people only dream of having multiple wives and concubines, living an extremely decadent life that is unattainable in the modern world. This group of ordinary people, each with their own ambitions and aspirations, lacked the physical prowess of tigers, the aura of kings, and any magical advantages. They were crammed haphazardly onto an old ship, possessing only modern machines, technology, and various theories. These time travelers, harboring ambitions, dreams, and ideals unattainable in the modern world, set off towards the chaotic end of the Ming Dynasty. Destination: Hainan.
