After transmigrating into a turbulent age, he becomes the son of a garrison commander in a remote border town. From the start, foreign invaders breach the pass, and his father dies fighting to defend the country.
When Lin Yuan takes up the battered military banner, he sees not only a city draped in mourning, but also the last glimmers of a dying dynasty.
The court is rotten and corrupt ministers hold sway. The people are reduced to eating their own children. Foreign cavalry burn, kill, and plunder, treating the Central Plains as their pasture.
If this land is rotten to the core, then I will rebuild these shattered mountains and rivers!
Farm the land, train the troops, strike down the local tyrants, and redistribute the fields! Establish the imperial examinations and promote education, so all people learn shame and virtue!
When war fires rise again along the northern frontier and millions of refugees look on with hope, what he builds will be more than a dynasty: it will be an eternal monument to Huaxia.
