[A work signed by the fourth editorial team of Qidian.com] Five great joys in life: Seeing all the world's beauties, hearing all the world's wonderful sounds, wearing the finest clothes, and hearing the most wonderful words—this is the greatest joy. With tripods displayed in front of the hall, music played behind the hall, guests filling the seats, and the shadows of flowers shimmering on their robes, this is the second greatest joy. The house houses ten thousand volumes of books, and more than ten close friends compose poems to compete with each other; this is the third joy. To spend a fortune to buy a boat, with music and a few concubines, to drift on the water, oblivious to the approach of old age—this is the fourth pleasure. More than ten years later, his family fortune was gone, he was in a sorry state, living hand to mouth, begging for alms in brothels, sharing meals with the elderly and orphans, and visiting his fellow villagers without any shame. This was the fifth kind of happiness.

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

(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?
