Reborn in the Northern Song: A Civil Official Who Commands the Armies

A modern historian transmigrates into the Northern Song dynasty and becomes an ordinary candidate in the imperial examinations in the second year of the Jiayou era.

Others study hard for years to earn an official title. He arrives on the scene and outshines the top-ranked candidates of the past thousand years, taking first place outright!

With a brush, he can bring peace to the realm; on horseback, he can secure the land.

While others scheme and struggle at court, he volunteers for the western frontier, building up a powerful army with one hand and bringing peace to the people with the other.

From a minor official in Qinzhou, he expands the territory of Xihe. A civil official who commands a hundred thousand elite troops, he strikes fear into Western Xia.

The court is a maze of shifting alliances. The Old Faction dislikes him, and the New Faction cannot win him over. Yet he relies on his achievements alone to climb, step by step, into the heart of power.

He roots out redundant officials, reforms the military, fixes flawed policies, and reclaims Yanyun.

From a mere top-ranked scholar, he rises to become the most powerful minister in the Song dynasty, governing the realm!

See how a reborn scholar

wields his brush as a blade and his body as a sword,

to uphold the Song dynasty’s vast lands!
