Curator note

Besides his brother Hong Xiuquan, Jesus also had a brother named Gary. Jesus' resurrection took three days, but Gary's resurrection took only three minutes. Jesus was held captive on the cross by the Romans for six hours, and Galis spent six hours de-urbanizing Rome. Jesus said: The kingdom of heaven is for those who share in the riches of the poor. Gary said: The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a great power, with everything in abundance and no shortage of anything. Therefore, we can deduce that Garys is either the reincarnation of Jesus or he came to avenge his brother. PS: Actually, it's the story of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom being established several hundred years ahead of the Third Crusade.

Curator note

Most people in this world are ordinary people, and Zhao Zhen was no exception. He never felt that he was anything special. However, fate brought him to the Song Dynasty, where he became the emperor, a ruler above all others. Being an emperor in the Song Dynasty was difficult, but being an emperor like Zhao Zhen was especially difficult. Empress Dowager Liu E, who was entrusted with overseeing the country and governing the state by the late emperor's will and was only one step away from becoming emperor, was in charge of the country every day. Below them are ancestral laws that forbid the arbitrary killing of ministers, and a group of civil officials who take pride in speaking frankly keep a close eye on them. Thinking back to the years to come, figures like Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng, and Fan Zhongyan, who only appear in textbooks, will also come to life before you. As an ordinary person, Zhao Zhen felt no excitement, only a sense of being like a harmless rabbit suddenly thrown into a pack of ferocious beasts... P. S.: The protagonist is cautious in the early stages but becomes ruthless later on. Read at your own risk if you dislike this style.

My new book, "My Rebirth Was Wrong," is available for those interested. Is Harry Potter a fairy tale?

Even in this area beyond the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, Snape's infamous reputation for ruthless killing resounded far and wide. How to survive? That was the only thing he needed to think about. Perhaps the arrival of the Hogwarts acceptance letter will be the sunshine piercing through the gloomy clouds. But before that, he had to rely on himself. Only yourself! "Heart-crushing!" The light of the curse illuminated Anton's face, and he laughed so heartily, "Yay, I'm alive again."
