The gleam of blades and swords has faded
The clash of drums and horns has receded
Before our eyes, one after another, vivid faces appear
The ancient roads have vanished beneath yellow dust
The frontier cities, once lit by beacon fires, lie in ruin
Oh, time, you cannot take away
Those familiar names, one by one
In the late Ming dynasty, the Han people endured countless hardships. Many tragic heroes worthy of song and tears emerged, as did many traitors who brought chaos upon their own people. In the end, everything would be swallowed by the vastness of history.
A man who had barely scraped by in a peaceful future era transmigrates to the late Ming dynasty, becoming Mao Chengyu, son of Mao Wenlong, commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town.
How will he survive a life full of hardship?
How will he deal with his controversial father?
How will he resist the Manchu invaders, said to be invincible in numbers?
How will he handle the court packed with Donglin gentlemen?
How will he get along with the infamous eunuch faction officials?
How will he deal with the feared secret police and their hawkish agents?
What can he do about the cruel and savage Japanese pirates?
And how will he defend against the world powers, like wild dogs ready to pounce, tear him apart, and devour him at any moment?
Watch as an ordinary man from the future makes use of an awakened, mutated Mount & Blade System, navigating the whirlpool of history to protect the homeland he loves, strengthen his proud people, and stand atop the world as a mighty force.
The theme is good, and the writing flows smoothly from one point to the next.
It feels alright. Keep up the good work, keep it up!
