Succeeding means, first, to inherit; second, to guide.

　　In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty perished. Soon after, the ninth imperial son, James Harrison, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amid great anticipation, inherited the Song legacy, and changed the era name to Jianyan.

　　However, within three months, Abraham Thompson was dismissed as prime minister, Ethan Brooks was killed, George Walker was expelled from the army, Andrew Bennett was abandoned in Tokyo, and all anti-Jin deployments in Hebei were completely withdrawn... After so much effort, the entire court of civil and military officials finally unified their thinking and set the grand anti-Jin strategy of supporting Mr. Harrison in moving south to Huai and then to Yangzhou.

　　But just as the journey began, after paying respects to the Daoist Patriarch at Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, this Mr. Harrison suddenly fell headfirst into the famous Nine-Dragon Well, and upon rising, could no longer recognize his own trusted aides!

　　I must resist the Jin! But where are my confidants?!

　　This is the heartfelt cry of a soul from nine hundred years in the future. Having helplessly inherited the name of the Great Song, he is determined to lead this court and the world onto a new path.

　　Thus, it is called Succeeding Song.
