The protagonist, Lin Feng, was originally a major commander of an ace special forces unit in China. He is proficient in modern special operations, tactical command and psychological warfare. He has a calm and decisive personality, and is decisive in killing, but he still retains warmth towards his comrades and civilians. After sacrificing his life to protect his teammates during a border anti-terrorism operation, his soul traveled to the body of a deposed prince who was an imaginary dynasty of Great Xia Dynasty. The original owner was demoted to a commoner due to a mutiny and was exiled to the border. He was seriously injured and on the verge of death. After Lin Feng took over the body, he relied on modern military knowledge and iron-blooded skills to recruit remnant soldiers and integrate refugees from scratch, and gradually established a "Wind Shadow Army" with strict discipline and advanced tactics. Its growth arc goes from the initial survival and self-preservation to the survival of the soldiers under his command, and finally the awakening of imperial ambitions to end the troubled times with iron-blooded means and establish a republican empire where everyone has dignity.
