Beacon Tower Soldier

Modern combat engineer Han Ce opens his eyes to find himself a starving garrison soldier in a beacon tower on the northern frontier of Great Yin. His superiors skim off the rations and claim credit for his military achievements. Every year, the grassland cavalry rides south, treating the border folk like cattle and sheep. The imperial court remembers only to collect taxes, not that anyone lives here. He knows how to build fortifications, read maps, and lead troops, but he has no horse, no blade, and no backing. Once a soldier crosses the river, there is no turning back. Starting with one beacon tower and five brothers, he will carve a bloody road to the halls of power through military honors, account books, and the edge of a blade.
