Song Wudi Liu Yu, God of War

“The Northern and Southern Dynasties: absurd, yet beautiful. Men are steamed, women stir-fried, the old simmered into soup, and the young roasted. The eldest daughter is boiled, the children are steamed, and the third and fourth daughters are cooked by the young men...” He transmigrates as Liu Yu, a poor commoner in the Eastern Jin dynasty, and finds himself in a living hell from the start. His family has nothing, creditors are at the door, and he’s tied to a hitching post and whipped and humiliated in public. With his surging vital energy quietly awakened, Liu Yu begins building his martial power by chopping wood and fishing. With monstrous talent, he rises to become emperor, the martial god Emperor Wu of Song. He unifies the Central Plains and reclaims the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
