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.

Curator note

Shen Zhezi arrives in the early Eastern Jin Dynasty, transforming into the son of a wealthy family in Jiangnan. He owns thousands of acres of fertile land, immense wealth, and a large retinue of servants—a rare high-end transmigration story. Unfortunately, his father is a habitual rebel. The southward migration of the elite and the chaos of the Five Barbarian Tribes marked a tragic end for China and a lament for the Han dynasty. The powerful and influential families are unreliable; the north is wicked and the south is corrupt—two nests of bad seeds, only seeking to live a life of ease. This fertile land of China, the homeland of the Han people, will not be allowed to be used by barbarians! I will dedicate my entire life to building a righteous Northern Expeditionary Army to kill the barbarians, restore the Central Plains, and revive the Han dynasty! Book group: 608646355
