Name: Building an Empire from Liangzhou!
Author: Kai Li Er Ke

Synopsis

Ma Xie’an is reborn in another world as a young master from a minor family in the Great Zhou dynasty. Since he is not the legitimate eldest son, he has no chance of inheriting the family headship, so he uses his family’s connections to go to Liangzhou.

After years of bloody battles and campaigns, he gradually gains control of a border city.

When a rebellion breaks out, he swiftly leads his army to take Dunhuang, then uses it as a base to seize control of Liangzhou.

Later, the imperial court appoints him as General of the North-Central Army. He campaigns far and wide, reconquers the Western Regions, launches an expedition against the Xiongnu, and puts down rebellions.

He can be called the most accomplished man in the realm. Before turning thirty, he is a truly distinguished servant of the state.

But after he turns thirty, the emperor and the factions in the capital become embroiled in schemes and power struggles.

Ma Xie’an seizes the opportunity, marches south, and takes control of Luoyang.

Like Dong Zhuo at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty in his previous life, he holds the emperor hostage to command the lords.

“For the first half of my life, I was a loyal servant of the court, one of the realm’s greatest heroes. For the second half, I became a reviled powerbroker, a rebel who holds the emperor hostage to command the lords.”

Any Traditional Stories About a Protagonist Leading a Rebellion to Conquer the World?

My favorite thing about novels where the protagonist becomes emperor is the emperor wielding absolute power: all under heaven belongs to the emperor, and everyone within its borders is his subject. I want a novel set in a traditional feudal dynasty. I really hate stories where the emperor also tries to introduce democracy or constitutional monarchy. Recommendations, please!

I Read Everything. I’m Deep in a Reading Slump, and I’ve Been Reading for Years. Any Genre Is Fine

I'm looking for books similar to "The End of Ten Days". I'd like something with good writing and a decent plot, but not too tragic. I've read pretty much everything on the high-rated lists, so I'm looking for the best of the best. Thanks, everyone. Finding one in this vast sea of books is really like searching for a needle in a haystack.
