Transmigrating to the Western Jin Dynasty to Build the Strongest Fortress

In the fifth year of the Yongjia era of the Western Jin dynasty, Luoyang fell. The Hu cavalry swept across the land, and the Central Plains descended into chaos.

Wen Yan, a modern history graduate student, was sorting through historical records on the Upheaval of the Five Barbarians in a library when he unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of a poor young man with the same name, living in a Han Chinese fortified village in Bingzhou that was about to be massacred.

Drawing on his foresight about this dark period of history and his modern way of thinking, he organized a resistance in their desperate plight and saved some of his fellow villagers. But he also witnessed firsthand the brutality of the army under the warlord Shi Hu. His "family" were killed.

Bearing a simple, burning desire to avenge his "family" and a deep sense of helplessness before the course of history, Wen Yan began his struggle in a world torn apart by war.

He knew that hatred alone could not keep him alive, much less change the century of darkness that followed the Upheaval of Yongjia.

His impossible mission was to find a path in an age when the blood feud between Hua and Yi was magnified without limit and human life was treated like grass: a path that could protect those around him while keeping civilization alive.

Using modern knowledge, he improved farming tools and trained a militia. Caught between several rival powers, he established a small stronghold called Moonlight Fort, with the motto, "Shelter those willing to uphold order, whether Hu or Han."

But the stakes were unbearably high: if he failed, the people who followed him would once again become "two-legged sheep," and the spark of a civilization that could "rise above hatred" would be snuffed out forever.
