I Guarded the Demon Pass for Eighteen Years. Why Are You Crying Now That I've Joined the Enemy?

Eighteen years ago, Chen Mo transmigrated into a chaotic era. He poured his heart and soul into helping the empress of Great Zhou, not only securing her place on the throne but also restoring the dynasty to the height of its glory. Chen Mo personally led troops to guard the border, suppressing every enemy and holding back demons! But instead of peace and prosperity, his reward was the suspicion of an empress who feared that his achievements eclipsed her own. The empress allowed treacherous officials to slander Chen Mo’s accomplishments at will. Before long, Chen Mo was condemned by everyone and abandoned by those closest to him. Disillusioned, Chen Mo swept out of the imperial court! The empress of Great Zhou had thought that without Chen Mo holding her back, she could take the dynasty to even greater heights. She never imagined that without him, she was nothing. While Chen Mo was there, the realm was at peace and every neighboring kingdom bowed to Great Zhou. After he left, corrupt officials ran rampant at court, and demons slaughtered their way through the borderlands. Now the empress regretted it. She repeatedly sent people to try to win Chen Mo back. Chen Mo said, “You’re all like passing clouds to me. The empress? Great Zhou? What have they got to do with me?”
