Synopsis

High intelligence, epic battles, history, transmigration

Gu Huai, a modern graduate student in history, transmigrates into the body of an unlucky man from ancient times with the same name: a notorious playboy in the capital who is about to be discarded by his family and sent to the northwestern frontier to take charge of Shuozhou, a lonely city on the brink of collapse. To the north, the barbarians are sharpening their weapons; to the south, the imperial court keeps putting obstacles in his way; local strongmen pay lip service while defying orders; and the people of the city are gripped by panic. It’s a place where death is all but certain.

As a modern soul, he has to take on more than the original owner’s mess. Beneath this playboy’s skin lies the soul of a statesman from a thousand years in the future. He’ll let everyone believe he’s still the useless wastrel who never learned a thing, then use knowledge from beyond their time to pull off a stunning seizure of the nation right under everyone’s noses.
