Faking My Death Won Me a General

Pei Hanzhang was the most brilliant young gentleman in the capital, and also a prisoner accused of treason and colluding with the enemy.

One day, he died, and the entire Pei family fell. Their glory and splendor vanished.

When he awoke, he was the frail young nobleman Xie Weiming, in the misty rain of Jiangnan.

Seeking light in the faintest, darkest depths, he swore to clear the names of his loyal family.

To gain leverage, Xie Weiming threw himself into the game and became acquainted with the emperor's most loyal attack dog, as well as the sharpest blade guarding the northern frontier.

With his help, he reopened the shocking Pei family treason case from years ago. Only then did the people learn that every member of the Pei family had been loyal and true.

The emperor was "furious," and the Pei family's name was cleared and their title restored.

Pei Hanzhang knew the emperor was neither shocked nor angry. And this honor was never what he wanted.

It was only the beginning.

He would turn the emperor's most loyal shield into the sharpest spear aimed at the throne.

Huo Linchuan, the living King of Hell of the northern frontier, was ordered to head south and assist in investigating an embezzlement case.

There were two things he hated most in life: being manipulated and being burdened by the sickly.

Xie Weiming was both.

He was delicate and sickly, panting after every three steps, and always seemed to have a coincidental connection to important witnesses.

Huo Linchuan's expression was icy. "If you delay our journey again, I won't hesitate to make you a corpse for real."

The young man leaned against the doorframe, coughing until the corners of his eyes were red. "As you say, General."

Later, when the mastermind was rooted out and a shocking conspiracy came to light...

Only then did Huo Linchuan realize that every clue he'd pursued along the way had been carefully calculated by this "troublemaker." But all he felt now was heartache.
