After spending two thousand years as a ghost, Han Xin got a ticket back to the past, plus the package deal of being a widower with two kids.
His wife had just died, leaving a son and a daughter who cried from hunger. His home was bare, and he nearly starved to death himself.
The only surprise was a self-proclaimed teaching System.
Good news: It seemed he could use the System to support himself.
Bad news: His students were all painfully incompetent, and their ties to him were a tangled mess in every sense of the word.
Liu Shan, who could think of nothing but getting him to help out in the past;
Zhuge Zhan, a rigid bookworm who only knew how to parrot the text;
Ma Su, who dared to imitate anything he saw Han Xin do...
Han Xin: You pose no threat to my military standing, but you'll ruin my reputation as a teacher :)
Han Xin: ...I'm not angry :)
Han Xin: Let me go to the battlefield! Please, just let me go to the battlefield! Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, whoever, I'd rather go fight them!
In the classroom, every step was fraught with obstacles and pitfalls. On the battlefield, everything went smoothly, with victory after victory.
Han Xin raised his banner and sang as he won battle after battle, all the way to Xianyang.
People always thought he was going to rebel when he hadn't. Now that he'd gathered his own army, surely nobody would think he was about to rebel!
Becoming a marquis isn't my goal. I want to be emperor!
Wait, I have to teach classes even after becoming emperor?!
[Reader's Guide]
1. The teaching System and young Han's campaigns and achievements are roughly split forty-sixty, with the latter taking up more space. This is a story about the male lead's growth. The System mainly serves as a golden finger and broadens his horizons.
2. Some historical details are fictionalized. This is a power fantasy set in a parallel world, after all. The male lead is going to ascend the throne and become emperor! He has flaws and isn't perfect, but he's no political imbecile like the brainwashing posts on social media claim.
3. Expect banter, dark humor, and a mash-up of dynasties. Everyone gets picked on equally.
4. History is a doll that anyone can dress up, so historical sources should be viewed critically. The story will try to use interpretations that are logically consistent and supported by the sources.
5. Updates every other day or according to the rankings before signing, then 6,000 characters daily afterward.
