The present application pertains to the cementing engineering technical field and reveals a cement system for ultra-high temperature resistance with excellent pumpability performance, as well as its preparation method. This cement system comprises a solid component and a liquid component. The solid component is comprised of a weight percentage of 14-70% cement, 3-80% silica sand, 3-80% fly ash, and 3-80% slag powder. The liquid component includes water and additives. This high-temperature resistant cement system exhibits stable performance with a thickening time generally exceeding 6 hours.
