Chronicles of War in Another World

This is a parallel world much like our own, yet utterly different. The northern Hu cavalry swept south, seized half of the Chinese realm, and left a trail of burning, killing, and looting. Provinces lay in ruins, and the people were driven from their homes. The Nanxia regime clung to a corner of the land, its court content to muddle along as border troubles continued without end. The entire realm teetered on the brink of collapse.

The protagonist, Li Ting, was an ordinary villager who lived a poor but peaceful life with his wife. Yet in a chaotic age, peace was the greatest luxury of all. When the Hu abducted his wife, they shattered his quiet life completely. Forced to leave the countryside in search of her, Li Ting embarked on a thousand-mile journey.

Along the way, he witnessed a shattered land and a people living in desperate poverty, and was swept up in the upheavals transforming the realm. At first, he was just an ordinary man who wanted to find his wife. But amid the raging currents of a chaotic age, he found himself in the right place at the right time, grew with every step, and ultimately carved out a world-shaking legacy.
