Synopsis:
A disastrous start
Zhang Yu has barely transmigrated to Great Qian when his mother dies unjustly, leaving him to keep vigil for her for seven days.
That would be bad enough, but tomorrow the empress will take his life.
The only good news is that he unlocks the Heaven Rewards Diligence System, and by the end of his vigil, his body-refining divine art reaches perfection.
But he's got all this power and nowhere to use it.
Just as Zhang Yu thinks he's about to die, his mother leaves him a slim chance to survive...
After narrowly escaping death, Zhang Yu heads alone to Black Fortress Stockade.
It's the front line against the Qiang troops, and those stationed there are all lowborn commoners and death-row convicts.
Everyone thinks Zhang Yu is doomed.
Instead, Zhang Yu crushes the Qiang troops and makes them tremble at his name.
One by one, those who once plotted against his mother learn they cannot escape justice.
It's time he took the throne!
