Republican Era: A Rogue Who Won't Be a Bandit Is No Good Warlord

He was a down-and-out graduate who felt out of step with the times. An accident caused by a temp worker's negligence sent his soul back a century, into the chaotic years of the Xinhai Revolution, where he became an officer in the New Army.

From that moment on, the course of history veered completely off track.

Yuan Shikai beat his chest and cursed Xiong Xiling for ruining him, and hated Wang Zhenyu even more as the gravedigger of the Beiyang government.

Sun Yat-sen raised his arm and cried out, vowing to rally four hundred million compatriots to overthrow this warlord who held power over the entire nation.

The Northeastern King Zhang Zuolin considered himself a great hero, yet was defeated by him, sighing, "No one under heaven is more ruthless than he is."

Japan, China's neighbor to the east, saw him as a thorn in its side. As long as Wang Zhenyu lived, the empire's dream of ruling the mainland would remain out of reach.

Was Wang Zhenyu, the man who stirred up the storms of his time, a capable official devoted to saving his country and its people, or an ambitious warlord bent on dominating the world?
