Great Tang: After Three Years Guarding the Pass, I Return to the Capital in Splendor

A concubine-born son takes another’s place in death and is exiled to Anxi, where survival is all but impossible.

Modern geological engineer Ye Shen transmigrates into the Tang dynasty as Shen Qingxian, the abandoned concubine-born son of the Shen household, sent to the army in place of his legitimate elder brother.

From the start, he faces Tibetan cavalry. In a desperate battlefield strewn with corpses, he awakens the ability to calculate microscopic ballistics, and a born marksman’s instinct lets him shoot an enemy through the head with a single arrow!

He finds rich iron deposits, smelts crucible steel, builds divine-arm crossbows, and constructs trenches stretching ten thousand miles.

In the most isolated frontier, he leads the battle-hardened Anxi Army and smashes the enemy’s iron cavalry, becoming the Tang dynasty’s only God of War in the Western Regions!

Three years later, in the autumn of the final years of the Tianbao era, Tang dynasty.

Before the vermilion gates of the Shen residence in Chang’an, a black steed rears, its neigh shattering the capital’s silence.

His stepmother and legitimate elder brother, who once bullied, humiliated, and treated him as no better than grass, come scrambling out, their faces white with terror. “Y-Young Master, you’re back?”

On horseback, Shen Qingxian wears heavy cold-iron armor and grips an unparalleled divine bow. Looking down from above at the entire capital, he says:

“Those who bullied me, those who owe me, today you will answer for it.”
