The Wind Caresses the World: Taking a Wife Without Following the Rules

[Not a wish-fulfillment story + no System + no invincibility. This is only a military and war novel. Do not read if that’s not your thing!]

Shi Xuanzheng’s rise after joining the recruit camp goes smoothly. He builds a new army, marches north to Jianmen, reclaims the Western Regions’ strategic route, reforms the Western Army, and sets out beyond the passes to recover the eighteen prefectures of the Yan people’s ancestral lands. Just as he heads west to reclaim the western frontier, Zhao Chong unilaterally tears up their agreement and launches a major assault on the Western Army, inflicting heavy losses.

Afterward, the army returns to defeat Zhao Chong and save the emperor, then heads west again to fight the Rong people, recruit the Army of Heavenly Justice, clash head-on with the Prince of Yue, and wage a great war against the Wolf Clan... Thus begins his tumultuous and glorious life!

His people die, his wife and children suffer calamity, and his generals are killed. On the battlefield, there is no retreat, only a fight to the death, with schemes at every turn. The victor becomes king, and the vanquished are branded villains.
