The Palace Maids on the Battlefield

After transmigrating, the male lead joins the Battle of Tumu Fortress, the bloodiest battle in the history of the Great Ming, as an ordinary soldier. With no powerful connections, he is destined for an unremarkable life after the battle. But he and the Ming emperor make a foolish bet at the wrong time and in the wrong place: if he can rescue the emperor from Tumu Fortress, the emperor will reward him with all the beauties, consorts, and palace maids he brought to the battlefield. Once the emperor escapes, he regrets it bitterly, but his pride keeps him from asking for them back. The male lead wants to return them, but deep down, he can't bear to part with them. The two of them hem and haw, going back and forth. The Yingzong Emperor says, “I'm the emperor. Do me a favor.” The male lead replies, “A bet is a bet. That's an ironclad rule of the world.” In the end, they fall out and come to blows. The Oirat, who had been secretly watching the spectacle and hoping to swoop in and profit, get the worst of it. Somehow, the two men wipe them all out.
