I Rule the Spring and Autumn Era

During the reign of King Hui of Zhou, Zhu Rui unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of a Zhou recruit. At the same time, the Bai Di tribes are embroiled in a civil war on the Hetao Plain. His employer, Hu Zhixian, is killed, and the recruits are surrounded and pursued by the Bai Di. Zhu Rui claims to be the Chosen One, and his prediction comes true. He also solves the army's logistical problems, greatly boosting his prestige. He and Bao Shuya are chosen as leaders, and he successfully guides everyone through a mass retreat.

Back in the Zhou heartland, Zhu Rui uses his military achievements to take control of a city. Through measures such as planning trade and reforming the serf system, he makes the city prosper. He also forges marriages and alliances with the surrounding states, establishing a solid coalition. As his power grows, Zhu Rui repeatedly clashes with Qi, the Bai Di, and other forces. In pivotal battles such as the Battle of Feiqiu, he employs clever tactics and joins with several states to form an alliance, steadily expanding his territory. In the end, Zhu Rui unifies the Central Plains, dominates East Asia, and founds a vast kingdom, completing his legendary transformation from an ordinary recruit into the ruler of all under heaven.
