The glint of swords and the clang of drums faded into the distance, and the wheels of history rolled into 263 AD, marking the quiet end of an era belonging to heroes. The exact year the Three Kingdoms period ended has been a subject of ongoing debate throughout history—was it 265 AD, when Sima Yi usurped the Wei throne, or 280 AD, when the Western Jin Dynasty conquered Wu? But no one can deny that from the moment Shu Han fell in 263 AD, the tripartite balance of power had already come to an end. A modern-day special police officer dies in the line of duty but unexpectedly finds his soul inhabiting the body of Liu Yin, the Prince of Anping. Originally, he wanted to follow Liu Shan to Luoyang to live a carefree life and forget about Shu, but the blood of the mighty ruler Liu Bei flowing in his veins made him unwilling to sink into such a state. He turned the tide, saved the collapsing empire, made a comeback in Yinping, single-handedly held up the sky, struggled to survive in desperate situations, inherited the Han ancestral rites, wiped out the Five Barbarian Tribes, and unified the world. PS: My new book, "The Last Three Kingdoms 2: The Rise of Wei," has started. It's still set in the familiar history of the late Three Kingdoms period. Please support it!

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.
