In the thirteenth year of the Tianbao era: I became Yang Guozhong's eldest son.

Transmigrated to the 13th year of the Tianbao era, I became Yang Xuan, the eldest son of Yang Guozhong, a man destined to be betrayed by his own countrymen. With knowledge of the impending An Lushan Rebellion and Mawei Post Station Mutiny, I am aware of the impending doom that awaits us. Historically, Yang Xuan's fate was a gruesome one, pierced by arrows from mutinous soldiers, with the entire Yang family meeting a tragic end. While others seek to conquer and dominate, I aim to survive, informed by the knowledge of the calamities that are to come. My father is reviled as a traitor, my aunt favored by the emperor, and a massive, powerful man I have just met is poised to overthrow the entire Tang Dynasty. With allegiances and trust hanging in the balance, I resolve to remain neutral, my only priority to stay alive amidst the turmoil that threatens to engulf us all.
