I transmigrated to the walls of Huai Shuo in Northern Wei, where I became an anonymous garrison soldier.
Before I could even figure out who I was, I ran into the man who would one day rule the land: the young Gao Huan.
I was a good archer and knew a few military training methods from later generations. That hard-to-describe feeling inside me let me sense danger before anyone else.
When I shouted, "Second Brother is invincible!" at him, half the border garrison remembered those words.
But this troubled age showed no mercy: military supplies were skimmed off at every level, refugees poured in from the north, and the Six Garrisons Rebellion was just around the corner. The powerful Lou family staked the future of their entire clan on me.
On one side were brothers who would share life and death with me. On the other was a warlord destined to dominate the north.
As the flames of war rose, I had to protect those by my side and fight for a way to survive in the crumbling Great Wei.
