A factory wage slave transmigrates to the final years of the Sui dynasty, where chaos looms and smoke rises from battlefields everywhere.
From the start, he ends up a wretched beggar on the street, so hungry he nearly freezes to death.
Other transmigrators become kings and conquerors. He starts on beggar difficulty, straight from hell.
Fortunately, after falling off a cliff during a battle, he is rescued by a divine bird. He becomes a disciple of a mountain immortal and learns astonishing, heaven-defying magic, martial arts, and military strategy. From then on, he embarks on an epic journey to help Li Shimin unify the realm and build a golden age for the Tang dynasty!
Starting as a street urchin, he follows a worthy lord, helping Li Shimin defeat rebel troops, recruit fierce generals, pacify provinces and counties, and fight rival warlords.
Xue Ju, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Liu Heita, and Fu Gongshi are all stepping stones. Time and again, he turns the tide in battle, and repeatedly saves Li Shimin, Qin Shubao, Yuchi Gong, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and others from mortal danger. He also helps Li Shimin win the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Even Li Shimin and Li Yuan have to show me some respect...
He strides into a chaotic age and steadies the realm with both hands. In the end, he becomes the highest-ranking duke, the foremost of the twenty-five meritorious officials in the Lingyan Pavilion, and the man who commands all the empire's armies...
