Excerpt: I threw myself into Nanyang in a cloth suit. I risked my life in troubled times and didn't ask Wen Da to be a vassal. The first emperor didn't treat his ministers with meanness, and his accusation was self-defeating. He took care of his ministers in the thatched cottage and was grateful for what had happened in this world, so he promised the first emperor to drive him away. After the value was overthrown, when I was appointed to the defeated army, I was ordered to be in danger: I have been here for twenty years.

I was originally a civilian, working in Nanyang, surviving in troubled times, and didn't want to be famous among princes. Not because I was humble, short-sighted and self-deprecating, my late emperor visited me in my thatched cottage three times and asked me about current affairs. I was very moved and promised to help him. I have encountered failure, accepted the task when I failed, and pursued my mission between crisis and hardship. It has been 21 years since then.
