He was a boy who had crawled out of a pile of corpses.
He was also the gentleman who upheld the dignity of a declining dynasty.
--
"The boy kept so many things hidden in his heart: a homeland long since drowned beneath the sea, and a girl he could never tell how he felt about."
Years later, no one would know that the warlord who struck fear into foreign powers, the powerful minister in the eyes of the people, the Grand Marshal feared by everyone at court, had once been no more than a boy lying in the border sands, longing for his hometown and a girl far away.

Short story / BE / Free
The story of a warlord in troubled times (written on a whim, no logic, pure wish fulfillment)
Male POV, primarily an inspirational career arc
Theme: None
When the emperor does not trust the person who used his body to win the country for him, sooner or later the country will be destroyed. The female protagonist is also ruthless, a bit like a romantic princess. It's really a pity for the male protagonist.
The author recommends a small blogger who recommends books. You can pay to promote them, because I see this small blogger often recommends some BE novels.
