The defeat at Jieting is summed up in the history books in a single sentence.
But if you stood on that road, you would see, there was no city, no pass, only a route that had to be “held.”
This is a story about someone who transmigrates into Ma Su. But the protagonist has no golden finger to change history, nor any way to know in advance who will win.
He must face a battle that cannot be won, yet cannot be abandoned: how to buy time and withstand the pressure of making decisions without fighting a major battle, so that everyone can make it out alive.
Jieting is not about turning defeat into victory. It is about a failure that was misunderstood.
