In his previous life, Li Li, a brave and battle-tested general of the Ji Kingdom, fell victim to the emperor’s suspicions and a villain’s schemes. During a campaign beyond the frontier, the court cut off his supplies, leaving him isolated and without support. Surrounded in a blizzard, he and his last thousand soldiers fought with desperate courage, but in the end, outnumbered and freezing and starving, they were slaughtered by the enemy.
The world had changed beyond recognition. The court of his former days had long since fallen, and the enemy, the Meng Kingdom, had taken over. Bound by a deep-seated obsession, Li Li drifted through the mortal world without being reborn. By a stroke of fate, he was eventually born into a common family surnamed Li. At age five, he awakened his memories of his past life and extraordinary military abilities. A life unlike the one he had lived before gave him a different outlook, helping him better understand the suffering of ordinary people. As his abilities continued to grow, the times made their hero, and Li Li began his rise to power, advancing all the way to the throne.
