Shen Yan, a retired soldier and top student in the Department of History, accidentally traveled through time and became a concubine framed by his brother-in-law during the Dajing Dynasty. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was trapped in a prison car and faced the threat of murder on the way to exile. In a desperate situation, he abandoned his original cowardice, used modern fighting skills and tactics to kill the escort officer, and escaped into the mixed-race Blackwater City with the fire of revenge.
The government here is weak and gangs are rampant, but it is the hotbed for his rise: he used historical foresight to hoard materials and earn the first pot of gold, used ruthless means to integrate underground forces, used modern tactics to repel the Huns and became famous in one battle, and counterattacked from "cold-faced Yama" to become a powerful general in the imperial court.
In secret fights in the court and on the battlefield, he fought every step to defeat his enemies in the face; the medical girl fell in love with him, the female generals followed him, the princess favored him, and the merchant Shu helped each other. The four beauties each showed their splendor, and no female rivals accompanied them. From a self-interested villain to a hero who protects the people, Shen Yan used his knowledge to conquer troubled times, wiped out the feudal towns and stabilized the frontiers with his iron-blooded methods, and finally gained power and returned with his beauty, writing a legend of a rebellious minister from an exiled death row prisoner to a generation of Wuhou!
