When Xie Jingzhe opens his eyes, he discovers that he has become a lowly laborer on the Daqian frontier.
Worse, he is lying on the bed of the Northern Marquis's principal wife!
Once the most esteemed woman in Daqian, she has now been branded a traitorous criminal. Outside the door, assassins sent by her political enemies approach with torches, ready to catch them in the act and silence them, nailing their names to the pillar of shame.
Disgraced and ruined? Doomed to die?
Xie Jingzhe gives a cold laugh, snatches the gold hairpin his sister-in-law had prepared to kill herself with, kicks open the door, and slaughters every assassin outside!
"If you won't let me live, then I'll carve out a path in blood!"
To survive in this brutal, cannibalistic age, he makes their pretense real and, though only a lowly laborer, forcibly marries the fallen noblewoman.
The world laughs, saying that the once lofty principal wife has become a laborer's plaything.
But they don't know that this laborer is a tyrannosaur capable of devouring heaven and earth!
Rising from a pile of corpses on the frontier, he forges steel, builds heavy armor, trains iron cavalry, crushes the martial world, and sweeps away the barbarians!
Years later, a million invincible cavalrymen stand beneath the capital's walls, and the assembled officials kneel and shout in unison.
Xie Jingzhe points his long saber at the Golden Throne Hall, his horse trampling its way inside. "My lady, this Great Daqian is rotten to the core. I'll find you a new emperor!"
