The Common-Born Emperor: The Dragon Rises in the Ten Kingdoms

In the final years of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Central Plains were in turmoil. Khitan cavalry trampled across the Yan and Yun regions, while warlords carved up the land and the people suffered. Li Ye, a graduate student in history, unexpectedly transmigrates into the chaos of the Five Dynasties as an orphan from a family of craftsmen. From the start, he is attacked by Khitan raiders, and his younger sister, the only family he has left, is struck by an arrow and left on the brink of death. Does a life born into poverty count for nothing? Watch as the protagonist grows amid the turmoil, advancing cautiously step by step, launching a northern campaign to reclaim Yan and Yun, driving out the Khitans, and replacing the Zhao dynasty to unite the realm. Many years later, seated on the imperial throne, he looks down at his ministers and declares: “I rose from humble beginnings. Today, I will bring lasting peace to the common people!”
