Xie Xinhe, the youngest son of the Xie family's main branch, was a talented young man with an unyielding spirit. Yet he met a gruesome end on the battlefield.
After death, he became a wandering spirit. He watched his comrades, who never received reinforcements, all get buried at Xiyuan Pass, while his grandfather, the great general, threw himself against the city wall...
Xie Xinhe was grief-stricken and furious.
He couldn't understand why the reinforcements never came, or how the enemy had learned the army's plans.
His obsession kept him in the mortal world long enough to see the enemy nation, Cangyan, invade. The land fell into chaos, and the country was destroyed.
Just as he was about to become a vengeful ghost, something calling itself the "System" appeared.
It told him that his fate was not supposed to end this way. An outsider had used their foreknowledge to scheme behind the scenes, changing history and causing the Jing Dynasty to fall.
It offered him a deal: nine lifetimes in exchange for a chance to live one life over again.
Xie Xinhe agreed.
When he opened his eyes again, he was three years in the past.
He was seventeen that year. He took up his red-tasseled spear, captured two cities, and returned to the capital with his banner flying.
Peach blossoms filled the capital. He rode through the gates, where his friends and family were waiting to welcome him, smiling as they called out, "General Xie!"...
