No general could rival Xiang Yu, no warrior could match Li.
I am Li Cunxiao, the most hard-done-by of the Thirteen Guardians. I fought the most battles and earned the greatest merits, yet in the end I was bound and dragged to the execution ground.
The history books grant me just eight words: “Defeated in battle, surrendered, and died by dismemberment.”
But they leave out what happened that day: I fought back during the execution and survived.
A soul from a thousand years in the future woke up inside me that day.
No System, no cheat. But I have the most valuable thing in these troubled times: a complete memory of history.
I know when Li Keyong will grow suspicious, when Li Cunxu will claim the throne, and when Zhu Wen will command the Central Plains.
From the execution ground to Fenzhou, from the salt works to the Nine Offices, I will build my own base of power, step by step, amid the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Li Cunxin watches me from the shadows. Kang Junli waits in Zhaoyi for me to slip up. Li Keyong’s gaze grows colder by the day.
The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms: the realm lies in turmoil. I have memories from a thousand years ahead and a life I refuse to lose again.
This time, I will be the one moving the pieces.
The first person is too disturbing to read, but the writing is pretty good.
A bit interesting,
