Zhang Jing was unfortunate enough to leave his original world, but by a twist of fate, he was reborn on a foreign continent.
The continent is divided into the inner and outer regions. The inner region has seven kingdoms, while the outer region has eight.
Zhang Jing was reborn in the Kingdom of Shencang. Its emperor was incompetent and weak, yet Shencang was situated right in the middle of the continent. Ceding territory and paying reparations were standard practice, while the people and meritorious border defenders were treated with ruthless cruelty.
Zhang Jing’s father, Yuan Bao, was a great general who guarded one of the kingdom’s regions. Before he died, he entrusted Zhang Jing to his friend Qin Lin, asking him to look after the boy. Since Qin Lin had been his father’s good friend, he took Zhang Jing in.
Later, unrest broke out in Haozhou, and Qin Lin was ordered to garrison there. After Zhang Jing helped him take Haozhou, the emperor threw Qin Lin into a dungeon and ordered Zhang Jing’s death as well. Zhang Jing had no choice but to find a way to rescue Qin Lin. They fled all the way to Beirao, only to find yet another unbearable situation awaiting them.
As the saying goes, oppression drives people to rebel. Unable to endure any longer, and with the support of soldiers and strategists from three kingdoms, Zhang Jing finally rose up in revolt.
The rebellion plunged Shencang, which had still been holding together, into a period of warlord rule and civil strife.
Shencang’s civil war sent the entire foreign continent into turmoil...
