Reborn in Northern Wei, I Hold Power over the Realm

A modern scholar of the Northern and Southern Dynasties transmigrates overnight into Gao Huan, the lowest-ranking border garrison soldier at the end of the Northern Wei dynasty. At the time, Empress Dowager Hu has thrown the court into disorder, resentment in the Six Garrisons is boiling over, fires of war rage across Hebei, the Khitan warlord Erzhu Rong watches like a tiger poised to pounce, and the Northern Wei dynasty is already teetering on the brink of collapse. He has no divine weapons or System to aid him. He can only rely on his profound understanding of history’s course to move carefully through the chaos. He masters the martial arts of the Six Garrisons, gathers trusted comrades willing to die for him, draws on the Lou family’s resources, and watches the world’s fortunes shift. Du Luozhou and Ge Rong are mere bandits; the brutal Erzhu clan cannot last; Yuwen Tai conceals his ambitions; and Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasties is growing old and frail. He endures obscurity and rises amid the chaos. He gathers the defeated soldiers of the Six Garrisons, unites Hebei’s powerful clans, purges treacherous officials, pacifies Hebei, and uses the emperor to command the nobles. From a humble garrison soldier to a powerful Northern Dynasties minister; from an impoverished scholar of Huai Shuo to the true ruler of Eastern Wei. Scheming, war, the imperial court, Han and Hu peoples, aristocratic clans, and frontier tribes: all fall under his control. In this life, he will not be a mere passerby in history. With his own hands, he will restore the shattered realm and command the rise and fall of the world.
