[Comeback + political intrigue] The God of War is demoted to a commoner? This kingdom, I’ll win it back with my own hands!
Being too successful is a crime! On the day Lin Zhan returns victorious, the Prince of Zhenbei is branded a traitor, stripped of his title, and sent into exile. The former God of War becomes a prisoner anyone can bully, while flames suddenly engulf the border. The court abandons the city, and as the Northern Di raise their blades to slaughter its people, he stands alone with his spear raised. “I’ll fight for justice myself!”
From exiled criminal to the power behind the scenes in Qingzhou, he gathers defeated soldiers, executes treacherous officials, and brings talented men to his side. Even the cold-faced physician Su Qingwan offers him all her skill with poisons. “If you die, General, who will clear my name and redress my injustice?” The dynasty rots, the martial world stirs in secret. See how Lin Zhan, a commoner, rebuilds his cavalry, uncovers the mystery of his birth, and breaks the grand game being played across the realm.
When a million cavalry finally approach the capital, does the trembling emperor on the throne realize what he truly demoted all those years ago: a mere subject, or a true dragon?
