Gu Yuhe, the Imperial Tutor of the strange northern state of Beining, led thirty thousand weak and battered troops against two hundred thousand from Western Wei and the Eastern Shu Three Guards. Three months later, the enemy retreated. On his way back to his fief, the Imperial Tutor rescued a young beggar who was a death-row prisoner in an enemy state. The little beggar thought that following his benefactor would lift him to great heights, but when they got back, he discovered that his master was poor beyond measure. Apart from the ancestral halls, he owned nothing. The little beggar had no choice but to follow his benefactor down the mountain to perform for money, while the man even had the nerve to complain about how much he ate...
After three years of performing, the little beggar learned all about Beining's military strength. Then he launched an invasion, destroying the country and massacring its cities. To keep his benefactor by his side, he threatened to whip his corpse and slaughter every official in Beining if the man dared to kill himself... He severed his tendons, crippled his cultivation, and kept him that way until the man leapt to his death...
Reborn into a new life, with the two countries at war, he was now a Western Wei general. He proposed negotiations: the Imperial Tutor would be held as a hostage, and Western Wei would never invade again...
Then one day, the Imperial Tutor woke up and slapped him out the door, saying coldly, "When are you planning to massacre the city and destroy the country?"
His heart sank. It was over. The Imperial Tutor had been reborn too...
