Translating... Transferred to the Renzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Xu Ping passed the imperial examination and was sent to serve as an official in Lingnan due to offending the Empress Dowager. Starting from a low-ranking official in the borderlands, he gradually climbed the ranks and finally made a name for himself in the Song Dynasty, creating his own legend.

There were no gentry in society, and the clan-based social structure had not yet taken shape. The drastic changes in social classes and the unprecedented peace were unparalleled. Under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, there were no more lowly people. This was an era that did not inquire about one's background.

This is the best of times. For individuals, everything in life is possible. This is the worst of times. Despite a large number of well-equipped standing armies, they have repeatedly suffered defeats, ultimately dragging the entire nation into the abyss. This era has changed Xu Ping, and Xu Ping has also changed this era.

The wealthy, are the wealthiest in the world; the noble, are the most esteemed among the commoners.
