Modern soldier king Xiao Lin transmigrates into a parallel Warring States era, only to become a dying refugee on the edge of a wasteland. Faced with radiation, natural disasters, war, and powerful enemies lying in wait, he draws on modern knowledge to fight for survival, starting with improving the soil and making black powder. Ying Weiyang, a fallen noblewoman with a discerning eye, recognizes his talent. Skilled in both letters and arms, she becomes Xiao Lin’s most trusted comrade and soulmate. Together, the two formidable allies rely on iron resolve and wisdom far beyond their age to reclaim land, train troops, and strengthen their nation amid the chaos. Rising from a small wasteland village, they ultimately vie for supremacy, reshape the course of civilization, and forge the legend of an imperishable empire. In this blood-and-iron journey, the greatest thrill is watching their superior intelligence crush the opposition, while steel and tenderness go hand in hand.
