Saving the Ming: Tales of Liaodong

[No System, Historically Grounded] Wu Di, an aerospace engineering student, is caught in an explosion and transmigrates to Liaodong in the twenty-third year of the Jiajing reign.

He has no System or cheat powers, only modern knowledge and memories of history.

After narrowly escaping death in the wilderness, he meets the young Li Chengliang, who is still mired in family troubles.

Liaodong is engulfed in war: power struggles over horse markets, bloodshed at beacon towers, bloody battles at the passes, military abuses such as killing innocents to claim merit, and fierce fighting among the Haixi Jurchen tribes.

On one side are the suffering people of the frontier; on the other, the shifting schemes of the imperial court.

He travels to the capital to sit the imperial examinations, stepping into the treacherous world of scholars and officials.

There are no cheat powers to let him crush his enemies. Every act of resistance comes at a heavy price.
