Lu Zhao, a modern armed police officer, transmigrates into the body of a Tang army scout branded a “deserter” in the aftermath of the An Lushan Rebellion.
Hell from the start: pushed down a slope by his own comrades, he faces the annihilation of his unit and pursuing Tibetan troops. He kills for the first time, and for the first time, someone calls him by the right name.
From rescuing himself by retrieving arrows in a deadly situation, to a desperate village battle against overwhelming odds, to a nerve-racking intelligence war in Weizhou, he struggles to survive amid the century-long bloodshed between Tang and Tibet, armed with military knowledge a thousand years ahead of its time.
When the “greatest victory since the An Lushan Rebellion” recorded in historical sources begins to unfold, he suddenly discovers that the coin responsible for his unit's deaths is also tied to the mystery of his own identity.
Lu Zhao says, “A life owed must be repaid.”
But what he must repay is no longer just one life.
