The protagonist starts from a death row camp in northern Xinjiang, uses gunpowder and other knowledge to resolve crises, recruits his team and establishes prestige in a desperate situation, and breaks away from being a prisoner to become a border guard soldier. Later, he tried his skills in the frontier army, used improved weapons and tactics to achieve repeated military exploits, gradually formed an elite force, secretly developed production, accumulated strength, and grew from a low-level soldier to a general with real power.
As his power grew, he became involved in court disputes, and clues to his life experience (such as old family cases and framed pasts) gradually surfaced. He encountered internal and external forces—both the suspicion and suppression of the court and the overt and covert attacks of hostile forces. The protagonist relies on resourcefulness and iron-blooded skills to break the situation, advance step by step towards the center of power, and finally win the competition in the Central Plains, invade the capital to liquidate the enemies, end the troubled times, and establish a new ruling order.
The whole process runs through the rhythm of "surviving in desperate situations - accumulating power - breaking the game - reaching the top", integrating strategy, war, technological application (such as improved gunpowder weapons) and personal growth. It not only includes hard-core survival and expansion, but also intersperses thoughts on life experience, trust and governance.
