A World in Chaos: From Exile to the Frontier to Conquering the Realm

In the final years of the Great Qian Dynasty, natural disasters strike one after another, the Northern Di make incursions at the border, and undercurrents churn through the imperial court.

Duke Gu Shanhe, the protector of the realm, has guarded the northern frontier for twenty-seven years, but dies in a bizarre military defeat. Before his body is even brought home, an imperial decree accusing the Gu family of treason arrives.

Their title is stripped, their home confiscated, and they are exiled three thousand li.

When Gu Chang'an transmigrates and wakes up, the once-glorious Duke of Zhenguo's household has become a family of prisoners.

Everyone thinks the Gu family is finished.

But no one expects that the pampered heir, dismissed by everyone in the capital as a good-for-nothing, will start with a group of exiles, gather refugees, stockpile grain, build a mighty city, and train a powerful army, becoming the true master of the northern frontier one step at a time.

Years later, the realm descends into chaos. The princes rise against one another, and a million troops fight for control of the Central Plains.

Gu Chang'an returns to the capital that once sent him away in chains.

This time, the entire realm stands behind him.
