The Ryukyu Islands' Greatest Strategist

Everyone laughs at Gu Qing: slow on the uptake, yet he wants to study Guiguzi's arts of persuasion and conquer the world? Until he is reborn in Ryukyu during the Three Mountains Era. Here, smoke from the fires of war fills the skies, and the strong prey on the weak. Those who are quick with words die first; those who are quick with a blade die just as fast. His natural slowness becomes the perfect disguise. The arts of persuasion that once made him a laughingstock finally have a stage on which to shine. The lords watch from all sides, and powerful neighbors press at the borders. A slow-witted strategist uses patience to overcome speed and softness to overcome strength, navigating the competing forces one step at a time until he rises to become Ryukyu's foremost strategist!
