The Iron-Blooded Emperor's Path: From Slave to Son of Heaven
Lin Yue, a modern university student majoring in history, dies suddenly and transmigrates to the Great Yan Dynasty, where he becomes “A Yue,” a slave at the Blackstone Mountain mine whose life is worth less than a blade of grass.
The realm is divided, with feudal lords carving it up and aristocratic clans monopolizing resources. The common people at the bottom suffer oppression. Armed with modern knowledge and historical insight, Lin Yue refuses to remain an insignificant nobody. He starts with a small opportunity to improve mining efficiency and struggles to survive against all odds.
He unites the slaves and leads them to flee to Blackwind Mountain. Applying modern ideas, he reforms the mountain stronghold, recruits talented people, and builds up his strength. Then he descends the mountain to vie for control of Anbei, institutes new policies to win the people's support, and sweeps aside the rival factions with brilliant strategies and an iron fist. At last, he leads his armies across the realm, pacifies the chaos amid fierce struggles for power, deposes the last incompetent ruler, and ascends the throne as emperor.
From a mine slave to the Son of Heaven, Lin Yue lives out an extraordinary tale of rising from the bottom. With wisdom and courage, he breaks the chains of class; with an iron will and a benevolent heart, he reshapes the world and forges an imperial legacy to last through the ages.
