In the sixth year of the Daye era, the powerful Sui Dynasty ushered in a turning point. In that year, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty began preparations to conquer Goguryeo, thus setting the stage for the chaos and turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty. In the following years, the world was in turmoil, and many heroes rose up. Eighteen rebel kings and sixty-four bandits, heroes from humble backgrounds and powerful families, all took to the stage to vie for supremacy.

This was a most legendary era, and also the most chaotic and darkest time in the Central Plains.

When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers bloom and all others wither; the fragrance fills Chang'an, and the whole city is adorned with golden armor. Huang Chao raised his arm, and the once mighty Tang Dynasty, which shook the ages, began its demise, ushering in the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The clash of swords and the thunder of horses were commonplace, and right and wrong, success and failure, all turned to nothing. At the tail end and climax of the surging tide, in those years between the Later Zhou and the Northern Song, Shi Congyun knew of Emperor Shizong of Zhou's great talent and strategy, Zhao Kuangyin's reign over the world, had heard of the two Zhou empresses of the Southern Tang, and knew of Lady Huarui of the Later Shu. The Central Plains were divided among warlords, while the Khitan in the north were eyeing the region covetously. Amidst the upheavals and upheavals of the times, how will Shi Congyun, following his muscular but brainless father, survive in this chaotic world? Step by step, he transformed from an unambitious nobody who only wanted to survive in a chaotic world into a powerful ruler who could conquer the world... (The protagonist is rather unruly; moralists may stumble upon this.)

My impression of Dong Zhuo is that he was fighting with his fierce general brother for a woman. Although he got the ferret, he lost his head.

I'm just a lowly forest ranger who forgot to bring Baidu (the Chinese search engine) with me when I transmigrated, and to make matters worse, I was born into the body of an incredibly ugly creature. My father saw me as a monster, and everyone else treated me like a monstrous flood, except for my grandmother and sister... I must live. To save my grandmother from being beheaded, I must first kill Huangfu Song. What good will changing history do? Everything I do is to survive, and to ensure that those who love me can live.

(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?
