The Tang Dynasty was in its golden age, a time of great prosperity, but a cataclysmic upheaval was imminent. In the fifth year of the Tianbao era, he opened his eyes and saw the glorious Tang Dynasty, a time of prosperity and grandeur, with famous generals as numerous as clouds and vast territory; capable ministers as plentiful as rain and granaries overflowing; brilliant poetry and dazzling culture; and beauties that could topple cities and a time of peace and prosperity. He also saw the court officials in a state of frenzy, arrogant and extravagant, constantly vying for power; the country in turmoil, with accumulated problems; and barbarian tribes rebelling, treating people like dirt. As the drums of war from Yuyang shook the earth, he was determined to ensure that this Tang dynasty would not lose its splendor. The classic novel "The End of the Song Dynasty," with an average daily subscription of 30,000, is now complete and offers a substantial amount of reading material.

After repeating this forty-four times, fall asleep. If you're unlucky, when you open your eyes again, you will no longer be lying in your own bed, but will have entered a strange space completely isolated from reality. That space... On the surface, it looks like a place we see every day: our own bedroom, living room, underground garage, bathroom, basketball court, construction site, etc. But if you look closely, you'll find that it's different... Everything is different. This is the story of an ordinary person who, after gaining superpowers, gradually transforms and grows in another world, reaching the pinnacle of his abilities.

A year has twelve months, a month has thirty days, and a day has one hundred quarters; a month has a total of three thousand quarters, and ten months have a total of thirty thousand quarters.

He drifted to Suzhou, scraping by on free food and lodging, when by accident and sheer luck he inherited the cultivation arts of a demon.

Cheng Tianle, true to his name, is over twenty years old and has accomplished nothing, yet he is always cheerful and carefree. He wandered to Suzhou, living a life of leisure and eating and lodging, but by chance and in a daze, he obtained the inheritance of demon cultivation techniques. When he came to his senses, it was as if he had opened a door to wonder in the world. It turns out that all around us, in our daily lives, on the streets and alleys, there are all sorts of demons. They are no different from ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot tell them apart. For example, your company boss may be some kind of demon in disguise; and the trendy urban woman you meet on the street may be the legendary fox spirit. Having experienced the dangers of the world, he finally understood that the methods of demon cultivation differed from those of humans and could not be practiced arbitrarily. Cheng Tianle also began to ponder why these demons mingled in the human world and lived among us. In fact, from ancient times to the present, there have always been demons and spirits in the human world, and their actions are a result of human behavior—as many kinds of people exist in the world, so too will there be different kinds of beings.

Mei Xi, an undergraduate student at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, has been wandering the world since childhood. She struggled to get into university and was in her second year when she unexpectedly traveled back in time to the Tang Dynasty. He was astonished to find himself in a world quite different from that described in history books; things that existed only in myths and legends were actually happening around him. How should he conduct himself? Was history wrong, or had his arrival created the history that later generations would witness? People can't help but fantasize about time travel and rebirth, hoping to make up for all the regrets in their hearts. Everyone hopes to build their world into a perfect sacred mountain. In the end, it all comes down to that ancient saying—the sacred mountain is only in your heart. —— I have completed serializing three novels, "Divine Journey," "Ghost Stock," and "Human Desire," on Qidian.com.
