Five Dynasties: Zhao Da Puts the Imperial Robe on Me

I, Li Chongxun, have transmigrated into this world as the son of a rebel general. Outside the gates, Zhao Kuangyin’s men shout for blood, while Da Fu stands beside me, her face cold as frost. I joined Guo Wei, followed Chai Rong, and befriended Zhao Da. I’ve fought my way through countless battles, all so I could follow the tides of history and become a loyal subject who helped his lord seize the throne. But why, at Chenqiao Station, did Zhao Kuangyin personally drape the imperial yellow robe over my shoulders? And why, deep within the palace, are several beautiful women living in harmony at my side? Since that’s how things are... “Minister Zhao,” Li Chongxun said slowly from his seat on the dragon throne. “Will you march north with me and reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?” Below the steps, Zhao Kuangyin cupped his hands and bowed. “I’ll brave fire and water for Your Majesty!” P.S. This story refers to Guo Rong as Chai Rong, including in everyday dialogue.
