Zhao Xun, an extreme adventurer, unexpectedly transmigrated to a frontier post in the late Ming dynasty and became a young hunter.
On the very first day after his transmigration, the Qing army breached the pass and massacred the entire village!
His father fought to the death, then pressed a book, The Secret Manual of Border Scouts, into his hands with one final bloodstained injunction:
A son of the Zhao family who does not kill Tartars has no right to bear the name Zhao!
His childhood sweetheart and betrothed, A Heng, was taken by Qing soldiers. Her fate was unknown.
The burden of the nation's vendetta and his family's hatred fell entirely on the shoulders of a fifteen-year-old boy.
From cannon fodder among the refugees, to joining the rebel army, to fighting bloody battles with the Tianxiong Army, he endured from an ordinary foot soldier until he became one of the Ming dynasty's last great pillar generals.
Lu Xiangsheng was his mentor, Sun Chuanting his comrade-in-arms, and the Chongzhen Emperor entrusted him with the Ming dynasty's last hope.
Some scoffed: "A mere hunter dares challenge the Qing army?"
Zhao Xun sat tall on his horse, saber in hand, and shouted back:
"So what if I'm a hunter? All my life, I've hunted Tartars!"
The Ming emperor guards the nation's gates; the sovereign dies with the realm.
A shattered land and ten thousand miles of frontier. This time, he would defend them!
