More than a hundred years ago, the Golden Yong tribe of the grasslands invaded the Central Plains from Yunzhou and established the barbarian regime of Dachang. Xue Yuan transmigrated into this world and was forced to become a live-in son-in-law of the Zhang family. He had hoped to live a quiet life, but this cannibalistic society had other plans.
Landlords oppressed the people, bones littered the land, the court was corrupt, and the people were destitute. In this dark age, Xue Yuan thought he could help a wise ruler rebuild the land. But when he looked across the realm, there was not a single person who could truly be called a hero. Those who rose amid the chaos were no better than common thugs.
If none of you can shoulder the burden of this realm, then I, Xue Yuan, will carry it.
I want to see whether this world really cannot be changed, and whether this beautiful land truly belongs to only a handful of people.
I, Xue Yuan, will bring a new age to the realm and make the mountains and rivers change their colors!
