A Potful of Empire

Lu Ping, a graduate student in history, transmigrates to ancient times after an accident and becomes a squad leader in the army. Using his knowledge of history and extraordinary intelligence, he distinguishes himself in the defense of Tongjun City. The defending general, Wang Tong, recommends him to the Northern Garrison General's residence, and he officially enters government service after starting out as a “mess hall cook.” With factional strife at court and infighting within the ranks, how can he navigate the storm and escape unscathed? The old emperor dies suddenly, leaving a young heir. Should Lu Ping seize power himself or return it to the new emperor? How will he choose? P.S. A fast-paced story with no System, written in a plain, understated style.
