In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin army surrounded Bianjing.
Lin Yan was just a hunter, and not the sharpest tool in the shed. Everyone in his village called him Simpleton.
The day the Jin soldiers entered the village, a killing intent appeared on his honest face for the first time.
He drew the long-handled saber he had found in the mountains.
He single-handedly wiped out the five hundred Jin vanguard soldiers.
He thought that was the end of it. But a three-hundred-thousand-strong Jin army was surrounding Bianjing. The two emperors had been captured, Kaifeng had fallen, and millions of people had been enslaved.
Lin Yan knew nothing about lofty ideals or serving his country. He knew just one thing:
If the Jin wanted to kill his daughter, he would kill the Jin.
If one slash wasn’t enough, he’d strike twice. If twice wasn’t enough, he’d strike ten thousand times.
But Lin Yan didn’t know...
He thought he was just a hunter who had lost his wife, with a six-year-old daughter and a sickly grandfather to care for.
Prince Yue Zhao Si burst into tears the moment he saw him. “He’s the late emperor’s son!”
Zhang Shuye, a Secretariat Drafter, produced the secret edict from years ago. “The late emperor entrusted us with this before he died: His Majesty has a son living among the common people!”
After hearing this, Lin Yan asked in his simple-minded way, “So I’m the emperor’s son?”
“No,” Zhao Si knelt. “You are the emperor now.”
The entire court fell to its knees.
Lin Yan scratched his head. “But I’m just a hunter.”
Liang Hongyu laughed beside him. “A hunter can be emperor too. Just look, you’ve already driven the Jin away!”
Lin Yan thought it over, decided that made sense, and agreed.
Later, the history books would record: Emperor Yingwu of the Great Song, Lin Yan, was born a hunter and rose from humble beginnings. With a long-handled saber in hand, he subdued the realm and restored the Great Song’s vast territories.
It's nice to look at. A stupid time traveler who doesn't understand anything still has a system.
Come on, write better Damn it, it's so well written, and it's only been updated three or four times.
It's so pretty, not a lot of mess Worth recommending, the plot is smooth and the characters are vivid.
