Zhang Jue had dreamed of becoming a general since childhood, and finally became the Northern Dynasty's greatest warrior.
But before he could even savor the title, a cup of wine cost him his position. The old emperor not only dismissed him, but even made him a general tasked with emptying night soil.
Zhang Jue's statement: "I regret it. I really regret it. Drinking gets you into trouble!"
A few years later, the Jin army invaded the capital.
When the old emperor sent someone to find Zhang Jue, he stubbornly refused to leave the tavern.
Zhang Jue: "I'm not going to war. There's no way I'm going to war in this lifetime. Even if I drop dead, die outside, or jump from here, I will never go to war."
His old friend Yun Che: "If you won't go to war, then come back to the monastery with me."
Zhang Jue: "Impossible. Absolutely impossible. Being here feels just like being home. It feels so much better here than at the monastery. The monastery is boring, with no friends and no one to play around with. It's not like here, where everyone's talented, good at talking, and good-looking. I love it here. There's no way I'm going back to the monastery."
In the end, a certain iron-willed warrior clutched his lower back in bed and snarled, "Fine! I'll go back, okay?"
Yun Che watched him with a smile: "Good boy."
Zhang Jue: "What are you looking at? Human nature is all about giving in to temptation. Get it?"

Reading Guide:
Strong bottom, weak top. Mild angst, happy ending, happy ending!!!
A slightly snarky style, not a proper historical drama.
Theme: Becoming a general isn't easy
Silly, what if you don't like him in the next life?

Hey, when will the daily update be?
Hahahahaha, is that the news story about the guy who doesn't like going home and prefers to stay in jail?
Happiness, I can read the article in the morning
Come on! Must pass the exam! Waiting for you to come back!
I was so tortured that I vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and I simply didn't have the energy to comment. Wow.
Is that Monrodo the mastermind behind the scenes?
I understand that General Zhang was forced by the hatred of his family and country and could not help himself. This is the wise choice a general should make.
Is Zhang Xuance Zhang Jue's father...? Why did Shen Moyang push Zhang Jue away and call him Zhang Xuance... At that time, I thought Xuance was Zhang Jue's name, but I didn't expect it!
