(Also known as “The Max-Level General Returns to the Capital, and the Female Emperor Begs for Mercy” and “Condemned to Death from the Start, a Million Troops Refuse the Edict and March to Purge the Court”)
Gu Mo transmigrates as the Great Jing Empire's guardian general, commanding a million cavalrymen, only to discover that he's a hopeless romantic.
Just because the Female Emperor says, “I want flowers,” he leads three hundred men into enemy territory to die!
But when he returns gravely wounded, the only thing waiting for him is an imperial death warrant!
“Gu Mo, receive the decree: drink this cup of poison, for the sake of peace between our two nations!”
The generals throughout the camp glare in fury as the Female Emperor's eunuch sneers and pressures them to comply.
“That's hilarious. Let someone else be the simp!”
Gu Mo kicks the poisoned wine aside. Three strides later, his protective aura bursts forth.
First Rank, Third Rank, Seventh Rank: he breaks straight into the Postnatal Realm!
He kills the Sixth-Rank eunuch with a finger, slashes a thousand elite cavalrymen with his sword, and tears the hypocritical imperial decree to shreds with his bare hands!
“Go back and tell Su Yueli.”
“Either she comes to see me on her knees, or I'll lead a million troops to flatten the capital and make her beg for mercy!”
The once meek general suddenly turns ruthless and bloodthirsty.
His sworn elder sister, Gu Zheng, returns at the Ninth Rank.
The hardened soldiers in the army all kneel and submit.
A reclusive veteran weeps and cries, “The Gu family has finally awakened!”
The Female Emperor is still on her throne, amusing herself with her male consorts, when an urgent report arrives.
“Gu Mo has rebelled! Han Si's head was crushed, and the Black Armor Cavalry has surrendered completely. He says the empire should bear the Gu name now!”
More terrifying still, a System prompt suddenly rings out in Gu Mo's mind:
[Simp-to-Strong System: Apologize to the Female Emperor and surrender your military authority!]
Gu Mo sneers and crushes the System's mission in one hand.
“In this life, I, Gu Mo, will never live on my knees!”
Even though he could break into the imperial capital, he had to wait until he could save his sister. No help for a long time.
