Synopsis

[Invincible, Crushing All Opposition + High-Martial World + Decisive and Ruthless + Blood-Pumping Power Fantasy]

Ye Linyuan woke up to find he had transmigrated to a high-martial world and become a soldier about to be sent to the battlefield.

After checking his memories, he discovered that his father was the commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Army in Jiangbei Province, and that he came from a distinguished family.

The front lines were in turmoil, and alien beasts were invading. The whole country had issued a conscription order, and his younger brother's name was on the list.

For the sake of his younger brother, his parents had resolutely sent Ye Linyuan to enlist in his place!

Three years later, Ye Linyuan had risen to the rank of general by killing enemies on the border.

He thought his parents would treat him differently when he returned. Instead, they actually demanded that he hand over the results of three years of hard work and bloodshed to his younger brother!

Only then did Ye Linyuan realize that, in his parents' eyes, he was nothing but a tool.

If that was how things were, then he could do without this family bond!

After Ye Linyuan left, his parents even claimed that since he had enlisted in his brother's place, his military achievements naturally belonged to his brother as well.

Ye Linyuan merely let out a cold laugh.

It was true that he had enlisted in his brother's place three years ago, but could his brother handle the achievements that came with becoming a five-star general?

Only when Ye Tai saw the five gold stars on Ye Linyuan's shoulder did he realize that his eldest son had actually attained a higher rank than him!

“By rights, a general of your rank doesn't have the authority to give me orders!”

The best martial arts novel I've read so far has a tight plot, a rich storyline, well-developed characters, and intelligent protagonists, without any unnecessary dragging or drawn-out scenes. Sigh, he overdid it and got wiped out by nuclear weapons. Everyone who followed him died.

The plot is good, I stayed up all night to watch it, but something just felt off. I only realized it was a female-oriented show after seeing the comments. Sorry, I was wondering why these main characters seemed a bit indecisive. But it's definitely good, I'll keep watching.

I leave early and return late, amidst the vast sea of people, who am I? A few coins I earn through hardship, toiling endlessly, when will it ever end? If I could find peace in my hometown, who would willingly toil in a foreign land? My life is like that of an ox, never at rest; in my leisure time, I sleep with the mountains. If the spring breeze has pity on the flowers, could it grant me another youth?

I'll give you face. It's not badly written, quite interesting. Maybe most people just think your plot is too slow.
