The Crimson Ominous Star

Jiang Chen, a history student, was paying his respects to the dead at Jinling's mass graves when he accidentally fell through a rift in time and space. His soul returned to 1924, possessing the body of Huangpu Military Academy's most brilliant student, the foremost of the "Three Huangpu Heroes." It was an era of upheaval, where dragons and snakes alike rose to prominence. Entrusted by Lord Run, he went undercover as an elite of the Party and state, becoming its most secretive piece on the board. He was the principal's favorite student, and the opposing organization’s most troublesome "omen of disaster." During the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, he first showed his mettle, astounding the world with tactics ahead of their time. In the lairs of tigers and dragons, he devised one brilliant stratagem after another, preserving the revolutionary flame amid the White Terror. When the land fell to pieces and flames of war rose everywhere, he boldly stepped forward, leading a lone force and becoming a god of war. The blood-soaked meat grinder of Shanghai, the unending flames over Changsha, the towering mountains of northern Burma... Everywhere, legends told of how he turned the tide. A pen had once been Huangpu's sharpest sword; a rifle would become China's strongest spear. In this darkest of eras, watch Jiang Chen use his modern soul and burning passion to tear through the darkness, forge a brand-new nation, and compose a magnificent elegy of iron and blood!
