Tao Qingtian, male, is from Jiangyin City in Tianhe Commandery, Chen State. At the age of twenty-eight, he holds the rank of senior general and enjoys the favor and trust of the Chen emperor.
For his outstanding military achievements, he is honored as the “Pillar of Heaven” and the “War God Who Holds Up the Heavens.”
His elder sister was killed in a conspiracy, but he was tied up on the border by the fighting and could do nothing to save her. Now that he has returned from the frontier, he vows to expose the mastermind and personally kill the culprit. A storm of political intrigue is brewing as well…
Standing on the plateau at the western frontier and facing the invading enemy, he declares, “I, Tao Qingtian, will shoulder the burden of all thirteen commanderies!”
The Northern Rong invade, capturing fifteen cities in just three days. The court is thrown into panic, and the officials beg Tao Qingtian, who has been living in retirement: “Senior General, please come out of retirement! We can’t hold them back!”
After weathering many ups and downs, Tao Qingtian ultimately secures his position as senior general.
One day, the officials urge him, “Please ascend the throne, Senior General!”
Tao Qingtian can only reply with a helpless smile: “I’ve already reached the highest rank a subject can hold. I truly don’t want to be emperor!”
He stands at the pinnacle of political power, and he also claims a place at the summit of martial arts.
…
To this day, a beautiful tale about Tao Qingtian’s marriage is still told among the people: “The senior general, Qingtian, often compares his wife’s beautiful face and pure smile to the white lotus blooming among the snow-covered mountains of the western plateau.”
