The Ironclad Emperor

He was the man later generations would call the “Dragon-Slaying Master,” a man who felled six emperors in his lifetime! He was known as the “Six Emperors' End.”

From Liu Yu, a country boy who chopped wood and sold straw sandals, a discarded son of a poor family, to the founding emperor of the Southern Dynasties who ended a century of chaos under the Eastern Jin, his life could be summed up in two words: overwhelming victory!

As war engulfed the land, he joined the Northern Garrison Army, winning a fearsome reputation with his iron fists amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He put down Sun En, executed Huan Xuan, and swept away the warlords who divided Jiangnan;

he led his iron cavalry on northern campaigns, defeated Southern Yan, destroyed Later Qin, and reclaimed thousands of miles of the old capital's territory!

The powerful aristocratic clans wanted to trample him underfoot? He would overturn their entire order!

The Eastern Jin court wanted him to be their dog? He would replace them and lay the foundations of the Southern Dynasties!

A commoner, he crossed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, shattered the century-old shackles of the aristocracy, and rose from the ranks of the lowest soldiers to the pinnacle of power.

Behold Liu Yu, a poor family's orphan, waging war to end war and founding a dynasty by force, writing an emperor's legend of defying fate and conquering a vast realm.
