War of Resistance, 1932: I Am a Warlord

I have played many roles in my life. Son of a traitor, patricide, killer of my own brothers and sisters, commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force, spy, war criminal, teacher. Which one was the real me? Perhaps all of them, or perhaps none. To live is simply to make one choice after another amid the tide of the times. Some choices are right, some are wrong, and some cannot be judged by right and wrong. I only hope those who come after me will never have to face choices like these. The pen falls; the man is gone. Zhang Dongle, fifth son. This is the story of a transmigrator who uses his own ruthlessness to climb step by step to the summit and rewrite history. I have no great wisdom. I’m just an ordinary person. I survived by being ruthless: to others, and even more so to myself.
