How it ended, as its article says

Conquered by Song dynasty. Read from the article's section “Fall of the kingdom” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

While Qian Chu nominally remained king, Wuyue was absorbed into the Song dynasty, effectively ending the kingdom.

4 rulers, 4 with terms dated as terms, covering 907 – 948. Only 41 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 3 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
