I Transmigrate into a Top-Grade Household Retainer

The finest special forces soldier dies on a mission and arrives in a completely different world, where he becomes a retainer in the household of the Great General Who Guards the Army. With the dynasty beset on all sides, how will he realize his ambitions and change the fate of the empire and hundreds of millions of Han people? The Xiongnu, the Turks, the White Lotus Sect, Prince Ning, and other forces all take the stage as the mighty Chinese empire teeters in the storm. He wages war on the Xiongnu, pacifies the Turks, subdues the White Lotus Sect, destroys Prince Ning, and woos a princess... With the nation in peril, how can he stand by and do nothing? See how one generation's retainer earns a title of nobility and command, restoring the prestige of the Han people!

One retainer, a lifetime of legend. One vow, a lifetime of waiting! When my hair reaches my waist, will you have returned, General?

I came into this world with a carefree heart, never expecting the land to fall into turmoil. We met at first light, and grew old together beneath the snow at dusk. The cold sword listens in silence to the rumble of thunder; the long spear stands guard alone over the empty trenches. Laugh not at me for lying drunk on the battlefield: the bugles will sound all night long.

A late arrival in Jiangnan, a red cord tied around her hair. When your hair reaches your waist, I will return victorious to court. Once, we rode wherever we pleased, all young heroes. The rosy glow of the Eastern Capital was beautiful, the mists of West Lake vast and hazy. We fought with spears against enemies on every side, vowing to defend these lovely rivers and mountains. Surely the day will come when I return victorious, to spend a blissful night with you. I hope we can grow old hand in hand, and stand together through it all.
