Alone on the Northern Frontier

After transmigrating into the Great Chu Crown Prince Xiao Lie, he finds himself in a hellishly difficult situation from the start. His father is dead, his uncle has taken the throne, and his six cousins are trying to kill him every day. The Northern Barbarians' cavalry has breached three provinces, yet all the court cares about is making him take the blame. The eldest prince presses a blade to his neck. “Give up the Eastern Palace, or die.” Xiao Lie smiles. “I don't want the Eastern Palace. Give me the northern frontier.” An imperial decree appoints him King of the Northern Frontier and grants him authority to act at his discretion. Then the court tells him: not a single soldier, not a coin or a grain of food. Everyone expects him to die in the far north. But he only thrives more with every passing day, taking back everything he lost, one thing at a time.
