When Zhu Kai was fifteen, the wealthy merchant Shen Wansan forced him to serve in the army in place of his son. Sent to the northern frontier, he became a sacrificial pawn in the vanguard battalion. He had no idea that the half of an ancient, unadorned jade pendant he carried close to his body was a token of the Ming imperial family. Nor did he know that the peculiar burn scar on his back was an imperial dragon insignia, branded there by a scorching imperial seal when he escaped death years ago. During a bloody battle on the frontier, with his life hanging by a thread, the pendant awakened and revealed a status panel that only true dragon blood could activate. Slay an enemy commander, Strength +1. Lead soldiers, Command +1. From a lowly vanguard soldier to a formidable frontier general, he climbed the ranks step by step. Until one day.
Don't tell the truth
The writing is quite good, but it's not formatted well and it's a mess. It's so noisy that I can't see it
The preface does not match the postscript. I always write back and forth between several characters and places, and jump to different parts of the story. The historical context is not coherent.
