    Reader note

    A modern-day invincible soldier king transmigrates to the body of a soldier in the Beijing garrison during the first Qing army attack on Beijing's Desheng Gate in the second year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Witness the soldier king kill enemies with a single move, taking down one soldier every three steps, slaughtering his way through the enemy ranks and crushing the Qing army. It's exhilarating, full of iron-blooded fervor, and incredibly moving. An absolutely must-read, incredibly exciting novel! Give it a try, you'll be hooked! It's arguably far better than most contemporary transmigration novels about the late Ming Dynasty war!
