Li Ran, a modern history enthusiast, transmigrates to Liaodong at the end of the Ming dynasty.
Amid freezing snow and a life-or-death struggle, he meets Nurhaci, a fellow sixteen-year-old boy with nothing to his name who has suffered endless bullying.
There is no master and servant, no ruler and subject.
They are the same age, equally alone, and neither will bow his head.
Li Ran has modern knowledge; Nurhaci has the courage to thrive in a chaotic age.
Li Ran helps him plot and scheme; Nurhaci draws his blade for him.
From wandering deep in the mountains to fighting for survival in a cold mountain stronghold;
from being bullied to making a name for himself as a young man.
Together, they endure humiliation, grow stronger, and come of age.
From green and reckless youths to a warlord and his strategist, whose names shake Liaodong.
They never forget their original purpose, never abandon each other, and walk side by side across thousands of miles.
In this life, I'll stand with you from the very bottom, and we'll conquer the world together.
So far, the writing is very vivid, and it can be seen that the author is very careful. The plot logic is quite reasonable. Here are two small suggestions. The Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou focus on fishing and hunting, supplemented by farming and animal husbandry. There will be no yurts, and animal husbandry is not the main business. The author overestimates Nikanwailan's historical status.
