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!" The scholars exclaimed, "This deranged ruler dares to change our customs and violate our ancestral principles!" 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!" Zhao Pu calmly remarked, "Once I'm gone, let the floodwaters rage without control!"

Although he likes to read "Science Fiction World" in the toilet and knows that there is a famous old man named Hawking in the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Great British Empire who proposed the famous theory of spacetime, confirming that it is impossible for a person to go back to the past, based on the current situation, this argument is obviously absolutely wrong. Unfortunately, he can't expose this scientific fraud in the present century.
