[This book aims to recreate the harsh reality of a chaotic age, so expect plenty of heartbreak.]
[The protagonist is not invincible, and the villains are not idiots.]
In a chaotic age, seven kingdoms divide the land, schemes intertwine, and heroes vie for supremacy.
Here are warlords ruling their own territories, benevolent rulers of noble character, generals who have slaughtered millions, chivalrous heroines, righteous men who rob the rich to aid the poor, schemers with endless poisonous plots, and ordinary people longing for peace...
In this turbulent age, heroes across the land fight and form alliances time and again for the sake of their convictions.
In his previous life, Lin Xiaofan spent twenty years fighting wars. After dying on the battlefield, he transmigrates into the body of a down-on-his-luck heir with the same name. From the start, his fiancee schemes to break off their engagement and pockets his enormous betrothal gifts, then throws him out.
"I took you in out of kindness, and you repaid me by forcing yourself on my maid. I don't want this marriage anymore!"
After leaving, he casually saves his fiancee's stunning best friend.
"Thank you for saving my life, young hero. I am willing to marry you."
To repay a life-saving debt, he pursues the enemy army for thirteen miles with his spear, leaving the ground drenched in scarlet blood and strewn with corpses.
For the sake of righteousness, he breaks into a manor at night and slaughters the entire household. With his blade at the governor's throat, he sneers:
"Every tael of silver you embezzled must be repaid in blood."
To bring peace to the people on the border, he leads three hundred death-row soldiers on a three-thousand-mile pursuit of the barbarians. Bonfires illuminate his bloodstained cloak:
"From this day on, any man who crosses the border will become a slave, and any woman, a prostitute!"
From a lone swordsman roaming the world in search of revenge to a founding ruler leading an army of a million to storm the passes, Lin Xiaofan strides across mountains of corpses and seas of blood, smiling as he looks upon the heroes of the realm:
"If this realm still bears the name of chaos, I'll force it to bear the name of peace with my blade!"
