“Why did I burn ten days of my lifespan just to gain the combat strength of an ordinary soldier, only for the System to tell me I have one hour left?”
“Why does borrowing three hundred days get me only one day of good health, with my soul erased if I miss the deadline? Even loan sharks aren’t this ruthless!”
Ye Wuwen transmigrates into the body of Xun Fei, a member of the Xun clan at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty. He should have had a perfect start, but his life is hanging by a thread. The System says he has only one hour left to live. Want to survive? Recruit famous historical generals and complete missions.
But right now, he can’t even get out of bed.
He has no choice but to borrow three hundred days in exchange for one day of good health. In that single day, he must go from a dying man to a lord worthy of people’s allegiance. In that single day, he must find Xun Yu and raise the man’s loyalty to over ninety.
If he can’t earn anyone else’s recognition within a day, it’s all over.
But as he wins Xu Chu over with gratitude for recognizing his worth, moves Xun Yu with his foresight, and draws out his own imperial statecraft under the pressure of imminent death, he suddenly realizes that this System has given him more than just a chance at life. It has given him a ticket to contend for the realm.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion plunges the land into chaos, and warlords everywhere vie for power.
What chance does a minor scion of a Yingchuan family have of conquering the realm?
He has Xu Chu’s axe, Xun Yu’s counsel at his side, knowledge of how history will unfold, and the grit to survive on the edge of a blade from his very first day after transmigrating.
This is the story of a man who fights to survive against the odds and rises amid the chaos.
As the wheels of history roll through the smoke and dust of the late Eastern Han dynasty, Xun Fei will not submit to fate. He will change the heavens and rewrite his destiny.
