Synopsis

I'm just a scholar. What would I know about fighting and killing? 【play the pig to eat the tiger + decisive and ruthless + invincible protagonist】 Late at night... The Xu residence went up in flames, leaving the entire courtyard in ashes. A four-year-old boy and his father fled the capital under cover of night, heading for the northern frontier. The boy took the name Leng Yichen. After sixteen years in the mountains, he mastered his father's teachings. He could govern a nation with his learning and face down savage beasts with his martial prowess. All he wanted was to stay by his father's side and spend the rest of his days among the mountains and rivers. A locust plague drove starving refugees to the brink. When they turned to robbing military provisions, a silver-armored female general led her troops to surround the mountain, accidentally stumbling upon this secluded paradise. Moved by compassion, he spoke up to win a chance of survival for more than a hundred people. Instead, the fierce daughter of a military family took an instant liking to him, “invited” him straight into her camp, and forced the post of secretary on him. From a hermit in the mountains to a military strategist, from a commoner to a force stirring up the imperial court. Why had his father set the family home ablaze and fled in the middle of the night all those years ago? What deadly schemes lay hidden in the unfinished game of chess back in the capital? As secrets buried for sixteen years slowly emerge from the whirlpool of power, and the full weight of the Longyuan Dynasty's turmoil falls on his shoulders, Leng Yichen gazes across the vast land. “If there's no way to avoid it, then I'll be the one to make the next move.”

Are There Still Good Books, or Is It All Just Vote and Review Farming?

A few words from the start and there are already 99 comments. Is every sentence and every page going to have 99 comments? Who the hell is so bored that they keep commenting? How can you tell it's good after only a few lines? Make it just a little more genuine, please. These fake accounts are ridiculous.
