Forged in the Flames of War

The author transmigrates into the past and becomes Zhou Weiguo, the male lead from Snow Leopard. He transforms from a wealthy young man into an anti-Japanese soldier, a special forces hero, and an officer.

On the night Nanjing falls, the spoiled young master Zhou Weiguo witnesses the defenders' devastating defeat. His closest friend dies protecting him, drenched in blood at Yuhuatai. In the agony of his bones being broken and mending anew, memories of his former life as a military king awaken. He takes a new name to declare his resolve and vows to avenge the dead, gripping a bloodstained bayonet.

At the Whampoa Military Academy, he tests bullets with his own body and stuns everyone. The codename "Snow Leopard" rings across the skies. Xiao Ya, the woman he rescued in Nanjing, carries a deadly code to Shanghai, only to be caught up in a hunt by Japanese special forces. Zhou Weiguo races thousands of miles to her aid. As he kills his enemy, he discovers that his own father has been secretly meeting with a Japanese spy chief! Torn between family and country, he leads his men to join the Eighth Route Army and fights bloody battles across North China using the special tactics he learned at a German military academy.

The Hushan Mountain base becomes a meat grinder for the Japanese: racing off a cliff to blow up a military train, disguising himself to behead an enemy commander, and picking off Kwantung Army instructors in the snowy wilderness... When Takeshita Shun, the culprit behind the massacre, uses Xiao Ya as bait to set a deadly trap, Zhou Weiguo charges in alone and detonates an armory hidden for ten years by the Suzhou River. Amid the soaring flames, the Snow Leopard emblem is finally etched into the shattered land.
