Transmigration began with the shame of the Jingkang Incident.

During that era, the Song Dynasty possessed comprehensive national strength comparable to that of the United States, military expenditures akin to Nazi Germany, military combat capabilities at the level of Italy, while the common people lived a miserable life similar to that in Afghanistan. After transmigrating to the Song Dynasty and becoming a prince, I unfortunately didn't have any romantic affairs or a famous horse like the "Yangzhou Shouma". All I had was the constant invasion of the Jin army, making it difficult for anyone to live in peace. Since they didn't want to let me live in peace, I decided to fight back with all my might. Thus, a new era of the Song Dynasty began. Jin Wuzhu sighed, "The Prince exhibits the ferocity of a tiger, making it difficult for my Jurchen people to find peace!"

Yue Fei said, "The emperor's temperament is as fierce as the founding emperor; there is hope for the revival of our dynasty!" Qin Hui trembled and said, "The cruel Emperor Jingwu is comparable to the First Emperor; the great Song Dynasty is teetering on the edge!"
