Today, all the wonderful things that happen in the upper class society come from the ups and downs of life experiences of those in high positions of power; as for the people at the bottom of society, they can only be described by the miserable scene of “nine out of ten houses are empty”.

In the continuous wars, whether it was the uprising army holding high the banner of justice or the warlords who ruled a certain area, the soldiers they needed were all taken from the grassroots people without exception.

These poor people were completely unaware of the so-called succession of imperial power. All they could feel were the conscription orders that came one after another, and it was these orders that ruthlessly took away their loved ones.

Not only that, whether it is the rebel army or the official army, they will break into ordinary people's homes and plunder food and property at will. This is definitely not something that can be controlled by personal will.

If you are not careful, you may even be killed. After all, whether it is the rebel army or the government army, they are essentially just riots launched for their own selfish interests.

Even if someone is forced to join the army, they will only struggle and be repeatedly killed amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, and it is almost impossible to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

Moreover, in such a chaotic world, even the pensions that should have been paid to the families of fallen soldiers no longer exist.

That's why there is the saying that when a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer. There is nothing to be pitied when those in power fight for power and profit and fail. It's just that they are not as skilled as others. It is the innocent civilians who suffer.

. . . . . .

However, the fate of the elderly, the weak, women and children is even more tragic. They may even become a source of food for the warring parties.

After all, where would the army get its food and fodder? In the chaos of the battlefield, a motley crew of soldiers killed each other, and crops that had not yet matured were burned and looted.

When they fall into the predicament of hunger, the ugliness of human nature will be completely exposed - they will choose to eat humans without hesitation.

The common people at the bottom of society have no choice but to leave everything to fate. Even if they are lucky enough to avoid the above-mentioned tragedies and live an honest life in a small town, if the city is unfortunately captured, a bloody massacre will surely await them.

It is really puzzling, why good things never happen to ordinary people, and why they have to suffer such cruel treatment after the city falls?

Even if the city walls are as solid as a rock and have not been breached for a long time, the enemy still has a way to deal with it - cause flooding to submerge the city.

Perhaps people fell asleep in fear the night before, and when they woke up the next morning, they found themselves trapped in the ocean and lost their lives without knowing why.

Even if they managed to escape these disasters, both the government troops and the rebel forces would often extend their claws to innocent people when they lacked military achievements.

They would forcibly arrest civilians and force them to pretend to be enemy soldiers for so-called "military merit."

After all, once your head falls to the ground, how can you explain whether you are a so-called rebel?

Even more unfortunately, in this chaotic world of war and chaos, the plague is like a demon, raging without restraint and following you everywhere...

Even those who came from famous medical families could not escape the clutches of the plague and their deaths were inevitable.

Moreover, plague is not an isolated event, but occurs frequently, like a series of nightmares. As we all know, viruses have extremely strong variability and adaptability, and they will continue to evolve.

In those difficult times when supplies were scarce, medicines were scarce and food was in short supply, death from illness was a common occurrence.

Because of this, the low average life expectancy of people in ancient times is by no means without reason, nor is it the fault of medicine.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that the factors that determine a person's life span include not only genes, but also many other aspects such as the environment.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are undoubtedly the most sudden and unavoidable, and no one can foresee their arrival in advance.

Even in modern society, the average human lifespan is still unusually short due to the long-lasting turmoil that lasted for nearly a hundred years.

“I want to go back to the romantic Northern and Southern Dynasties and see those elegant scholars.”

Such a whisper suddenly came to Hua Ningyao's ears, as if it came from a distant dream. This period of history seemed so long and boring to her. The devastated land before her made her feel powerless - she could neither help nor fast forward through these endless years of conflict.

Helplessly, she had to close her eyes and try to rest for a while to recharge her energy. However, this endless fight was extremely annoying.

At this moment, the words about romance flashed through Hua Ningyao's mind like a flash of lightning. She couldn't help but feel puzzled and slowly asked a big question: Romance? What exactly is romance?

She had never seen any romance at all. Even among noble families, the romance was only that of Wu Shi San.

"No, Dad! Mom!"

The scene she saw was astonishing! She saw a woman crying bitterly while a group of hideous-looking aliens were mercilessly throwing her parents into a boiling pot.

The pot was churning with white steam, emitting a nauseating smell. This sudden horror scene hit Hua Ningyao's heart like a heavy hammer, causing her heart to beat faster and sweat to drip.

In just a blink of an eye, it had evolved to such a horrifying level of cannibalism! Time seemed to pass extremely slowly, and Hua Ningyao saw and heard so much that she began to wonder if she had forgotten something important.

Could this be the romantic era that Meng Yu had just mentioned? But could their so-called romance just be being in the same pot together?

A word flashed through Hua Ningyao's mind, that is, it was full of cannibalism.

If we turn our attention to the emperors who have been successively enthroned and crowned emperors countless times, these people have a special fondness for snatching their aunts and aunts.

Not only that, they also forced their sisters to become favored concubines or extremely noble queens, and some even tried to take over their stepmothers.

What's even more outrageous is that there was even one person who tried to snatch his biological mother away! As for the absurd acts of fighting for a brother-in-law or uncle, it is not uncommon.

All in all, what this group of people did was truly jaw-dropping and like something out of madness.

However, what is truly incredible is not just this. Those so-called literati are actually addicted to taking a psychedelic drug called "Hanshi Powder". They expose their bodies all day long, talking nonsense and behaving crazily.
