In the second year of Tianyou, disaster struck. The northern barbarians' cavalry broke through the northern frontier of Yan, leaving the land shattered and the people in misery. Li Zhi, a modern soul, transmigrates by accident and becomes a low-ranking soldier on Yan's frontier, barely able to keep himself alive. Faced with internal strife, external threats, and powerful clans vying for influence, he relies on the heaven-defying talents awakened in the bloodline of the Li family: a sharpshooter who can hit a target a hundred paces away, a body immune to all poisons, and the strength of a legendary warrior. He carves a path through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
From a lowly border soldier to the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, from a regent with power over the court to the emperor himself, Li Zhi sweeps all before him, crushing the northern barbarians, defeating every rival, and restoring the realm of Great Yan. He repels powerful enemies abroad and purges the court at home. Not only will he forge an unrivaled empire with an iron fist, he will also enjoy a palace full of consorts and the supreme pleasures of an emperor whose every word is law. “Only a dog would refuse to be emperor”? No. I'll take this boundless wealth and power for myself! Witness how an unrivaled tyrant builds an eternal Great Yan Empire!
