Deng Yun was born into the chaotic age of the Five Barbarians’ uprising. When he was nine, his clan was wiped out by an old acquaintance. He and his younger brother were the only ones to escape through a dog hole. After seven years of begging, he joined Ran Min’s Beggars’ Army.
However, Ran Min was killed in battle. Deng Yun installed Ran Min’s son as ruler, only to face one betrayal after another while trying to unite the Central Plains. First, Ran Mao, emperor of the Ran Wei dynasty, refused to remain a puppet and attempted a coup. Then a subordinate stabbed Deng Yun in the back, leading to his defeat and the annihilation of his family once more.
After the seven kingdoms of the Central Plains stood divided, Deng Yun returned reborn. Armed with memories of his previous life, he knows the weaknesses of every faction. As he pursues revenge and unification, he faces the challenges of having little power and being separated from his loved ones, while also dealing with betrayals by his subordinates and attacks from rival forces.
On one hand, he must unify the land before the various factions rise to power, leaving him little time. On the other, the brutal conditions of the age make every step perilous.
In his personal life, he is misunderstood by his subordinates. He struggles to reconcile brotherhood with his imperial ambitions, and victory comes at the cost of his brothers’ lives.
But Deng Yun transforms from a naive innocent into a black-hearted schemer. Ruthless and calculating, he uses his superior knowledge to exact precise revenge and steadily build his power. In the end, he unifies the north and marches south to conquer the Eastern Jin.
Though the journey is arduous, Deng Yun ultimately achieves unification, paying a terrible price along the way.
