The Rivers and Mountains as My Witness

In the chaotic Five Dynasties, all people rise and fall with the times. Armed with memories of a later age, Chen Ce rises from a mountain of corpses. But as he keeps changing history, his foreknowledge gradually becomes useless. With the future veering completely off course, he can only rely on strategy, military formations, and the rule of law to carve out an emperor's path amid the rival warlords. He wants to end not only the chaos, but also the realm's dependence on any one person, to place limits on power and make merit and blame answerable, so that the land will have a foundation to rely on from then on.
