Lin Chen transmigrates into a low-ranking border soldier during the chaos of the Five Barbarians' uprising, and the moment he opens his eyes, he hears a System prompt.
But when he sees the Xiongnu soldiers with their high noses and deep-set eyes, and a black banner bearing the character for “Han,” he is completely dumbfounded.
The System keeps urging him to retake the Central Plains, his superior wants to use him as a pawn and get him killed, and his troops are a ragtag mix of Han, Di, Qiang, and Jie soldiers.
Looking at a land engulfed in war, Lin Chen sighs. Fine, he'll help restore the realm. First, he has to survive.
