A Shaolin warrior monk transmigrates into the world of Dream of the Red Chamber and becomes Jia Cong, an overlooked concubine-born son of the Rongguo Mansion. Sent by the Jia family to the capital's military camps, he embarks on a legendary life: winning glory on the battlefield, then taking the throne.
Chronicle of the Martial Emperor:
At fourteen, the emperor entered the Shenwei Camp and became a low-ranking standard-bearer.
At fifteen, he put down Prince Xining's rebellion, was granted the rank of viscount, and founded the Wu'an Army.
At sixteen, he saved the emperor at Tiewang Mountain, was made an earl, and transferred to the Five Cities Military Command.
At seventeen, he crushed the retired emperor's attempt to reclaim the throne, was made a marquis, and received an imperial order to bring the fiefs under control.
At eighteen, he took charge of the three garrisons of Ningxia, Yansui, and Shanxi, keeping the Tartars beyond the borders.
That same year, he married Lin Ruhai's daughter.
At twenty, he annihilated the combined forces of Western Xia and the Oirats and was made a duke.
At twenty-four, he was appointed commander-in-chief of nine provinces and put in charge of border affairs. In a blizzard, he pursued the Mongol royal court to the far north, then conquered Goryeo as well.
At twenty-eight, Prince Beijing Shui Rong rebelled and slaughtered the imperial family. The emperor led the Wu'an Army to quell the uprising, besieging the capital for more than a month. The rebel prince opened the gates and surrendered, and the emperor entered the city.
The country could not go a day without an emperor. Taking a page from Emperor Taizu of Song, the ministers placed the imperial robe on the emperor's shoulders.
On the day he ascended the throne, the emperor made a Lin his empress.
He granted the Xue family's daughter the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady and put her in charge of the merchants throughout the land.
He also appointed Princess Jia Tanchun governor-general of the Southern Seas, overseeing all the islands there.
Over the next ten years, the emperor swept across Europe and Asia, set his sights on the Americas, and received tribute from every nation.

After reading 100 chapters, the protagonist is supposed to be a military general, but he has few confidants, no servants, no personal guards, and he has to charge into battle by himself for everything. Is this a joke?
This author is really something 😅 for making a mistake. I pointed it out, and he replied, but when I opened the reply, I found that the comment had been deleted! I don't think I said anything offensive, right?
When the protagonist married Lin Daiyu, had he already been granted a title such as a high-ranking earl or marquis? If so, Lin Daiyu was not qualified. In other words, Lin Daiyu was marrying above her station. After all, Lin Ruhai's father was no longer a nobleman who had entered a fallen aristocratic family (i. E., A poor family).
The pacing is too slow. The protagonist doesn't have any personal guards or soldiers he can control. He just revolves around the court, which doesn't feel like a transmigrator at all. Transmigrators would prefer to be sent to a higher position, but this protagonist is stubbornly stuck in the capital. And it's the kind of stubborn struggle where he can't seem to advance.
The Ming Dynasty's capital garrison did not have a "Xiaoqi" (小旗) position. A Xiaoqi was the lowest-ranking officer in the Embroidered Uniform Guard and local garrisons, without official rank, and commanded ten men. If someone were to use connections at the level of Dai Quan (戴权), regardless of their sincerity, a Xiaoqi of ten men wouldn't even warrant such a discussion.
The author is female, and the majority of the readers are women.
The character of Wang Xifeng is somewhat disgusting; the ruthless side of the original work is highlighted.
This is truly one of the better Dream of the Red Chamber novels recently.
The political intrigue is well-written, and the pacing of advancement and merit is excellent. The protagonist's enemies are not mindless or stupid. What I admire most is that the protagonist is unfazed by reputation and filial piety, a rare quality in *Dream of the Red Chamber*.
Shennong is here! The author is a "sage," and so is the protagonist. Many female characters, after spending several years with the protagonist, strip naked and throw themselves into his arms, only to be mocked and rejected by him!
I'm disgusted. Paying money to torture yourself. One or two times, female characters strip naked in front of the protagonist, who coldly rejects them. If you're really a saint, don't write this kind of stuff, write about power struggles and other things! You want to write about women while pretending to be a big shot?
Why insist on Yuan Chun receiving a title? No way, those last few people are really annoying and they're just doing all the work for others.
