In the chaotic Five Dynasties era, he begins as a concubine-born son in Jingnan, with an army of one hundred thousand besieging the city from outside and his legitimate mother scheming to take his life from within. Starting with just three tiny provinces, he defies fate, ends the chaos, and rises from a lowborn son to an emperor for the ages!
In the second year of Tiancheng, the Five Dynasties era is in turmoil, the Central Plains are in upheaval, and the Ten Kingdoms are locked in conflict.
Gao Jingxing transmigrates as the eldest illegitimate son of Gao Conghui, military governor of Jingnan, and finds himself trapped in a deadly situation from the start.
Outside, an army of one hundred thousand from Later Tang bears down on him, while powerful states surround Jingnan on every side. With only three tiny provinces, the realm could fall at any moment.
Inside, his legitimate mother threatens him with poisoned wine, and his legitimate younger brother watches like a tiger. One wrong step could cost him his head.
Fortunately, he carries the complete history of the Five Dynasties in his memory and is also a top-tier regional planner.
Scramble to survive? No! Using the three provinces as his foundation, he will carve out a path against fate in this brutal age!
Improve farming and build waterworks, turning Jingnan into a haven amid the chaos.
Train the army and forge alliances, keeping the warlords of the Five Dynasties dancing in the palm of his hand.
Rescue the people from suffering, preserve a crumbling literary heritage, reclaim the lost lands of Youzhou and Yunzhou, and end a century of chaos!
Years later, the emperors of the Central Plains bow before him, and the rulers of the Ten Kingdoms submit. All under heaven ask: When will Lord Gao of Jingnan ascend the throne?
The selection of materials is very novel. There are few themes about the Five Dynasties, not to mention Jingnan. The character creation is also very good and in line with the historical prototype. I am looking forward to how the author will reshape the rivers and mountains in the three states.
