The Great Xia Chancellor Who Shapes the World

The Great Xia Dynasty is beset by corrupt eunuchs wielding power within and powerful enemies closing in from without. The frontier is ablaze with war, and the realm teeters on the brink of collapse. Lin Zhengyuan, a low-ranking ninth-rank proofreader demoted to the northern frontier, is accidentally caught up in a military intelligence leak that could determine the fate of the nation. To protect himself, and to satisfy the resentment in his heart, he uses his foresight and strategic acumen to break through seemingly hopeless predicaments and rise from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He suppresses rebellions, repels foreign invaders, reforms the civil service, and strengthens the army. From a ninth-rank official to a first-rank chancellor, he uses a scholar’s status to do the work of a general, ultimately becoming a pillar of the realm who governs the empire and reshapes the world.
