Two hundred years ago, on the Battlefield of the Blue River, the last remaining army of the Empire of Light collapsed in the midst of demonic outcries. As the last Field Marshal and Emperor fell, the chaotic world of the Western River no longer had a common ruler. Factions were formed and endless conflicts ensued, military might became the only currency of survival, and the dream to reunite the lands became the sole goal of many rulers in the generations that came after.
In the south-eastern part of the land, a powerful faction with over two hundred years of history – House ZiChuan – fought off the Demons to the east, defended against the House Liu Feng to the west, and contained the House Lin to the south. In order to accomplish their great ambitions and extend the bloodline of their family, countless heroes of ZiChuan gave their lives in order to make this magnificent hymn come to life. This is a story about this legendary family and a hundred years of their blood and tears.
The third year of Wanli’s reign, in spring.
The Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng reinstated the practice of keeping the Veritable Records (Qiju Zhu), assigning the duty to the Hanlin historians on a rotating basis.
From that moment on—
Shen Nian, third-ranked Jinshi from the year Xinwei of the fifth Longqing reign, Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Compiler at the Hanlin Court, Zhang Juzheng’s most outstanding disciple, and lifelong nemesis of the Wanli Emperor,
—thus began his career as court chronicler.
⸻
That day, the young Wanli Emperor got drunk and missed an imperial lecture.
Shen Nian straightened his back and wrote:
“His Majesty, drunk, missed the imperial lecture. The Empress Dowager and the Grand Secretary rebuked him sternly, even speaking of dethronement.”
That month, a large number of eunuchs were appointed as mining and tax commissioners, extorting wealth from the people.
Shen Nian raised his chin and wrote:
“Before the throne, I declared: ‘The disasters of monopolies and mining taxes are entirely the Emperor’s fault.’”
That year, the Wanli Emperor neither performed the suburban sacrifices, nor paid respects at ancestral temples. He refused audiences, ignored memorials, and ceased court lectures.
Shen Nian and his fellow historians cried aloud:
“Better to die speaking than live in silence. The greatest honor of a court historian is to be killed by the Emperor.”
⸻
Shen Nian said:
“I must be ill. I can’t sleep at all.
I have contracted Zhang Juzheng’s illness—the burden of holding up a collapsing sky—
but I was not destined for Zhang Juzheng’s fate.
In a daze, I saw the Grand Secretariat reduced to two people:
one drafting memorials—that was me;
one issuing imperial replies—that was also me.”
[Slightly hardcore] + [A huge number of self-created academies and students] + [With both angst and sweet moments] + [Daily life/battle]...
Thirty years ago, the Seventeenth Joint Campus was destroyed by an unknown force, turning the once prosperous academy into a desolate ruin. Our forefathers fought desperately during the catastrophe, sacrificing their lives to give their descendants a chance to survive. However, the survivors still wander among the ruins, lost, helpless, and uncertain of the future.
Just as despair was spreading, a firm voice rang out:
"Reconstruction, revival, revenge."
Guided by this brief yet powerful message, the students of Campus 17 wiped away their tears and rose again. They rebuilt their homes from the ruins, unearthing buried scientific discoveries from the depths of the rubble, etching the tragedy into their hearts and transforming past pain into motivation for progress. Beneath the wasteland lies not only a shattered civilization, but also revelations powerful enough to change the future.
Thirty years later, when a similar disaster struck another school known as "Children's Eden," the students of the Seventeenth Campus resolutely raised the blade of revenge. They were no longer helpless survivors, but fighters who had overcome the shadow of death. With thirty years of accumulated experience and the strength forged from the ruins, they would safeguard hope and reverse their fate.
"The past belongs to history, but we remember it."
"What is now ruins, we will rebuild."
"The future belongs to hope, and we create it."
Heroes rise from the grassroots, turn the tide, support the collapsing building, and save the people from danger.

On May 20th, Qiao Ruoxing posted an update on the social platform: Single, available. PS: Those with physical health will be given priority. The accompanying picture is a divorce certificate. This operation was just like when she married into the Gu family without any warning and once again wiped out her circle of friends. After the breakup, Nei Han found her ex-husband infertile. Did she think her life was too long? Who is Gu Jingyan? A ruthless boss who can sue the media for spreading rumors to bankruptcy, would he connive at his ex-wife who left the house and left the house? How would he express himself in this way? Twenty minutes later, everyone was shocked again. Under Qiao Ruoxing’s update, a newly registered account commented, “Remove me from the blacklist!”
