At the end of the dynasty, the land is plunged into chaos.
At home, refugees rise up in rebellion. Beyond the borders, the Yidi repeatedly launch incursions.
The court officials occupy their posts without doing their jobs, the military is in decline, and the armed forces are in disarray.
Chen Changsheng, a modern-day soldier king, is reborn in a frontier garrison as a destitute military household with nothing to his name.
His little brother and sister are crying to be fed, while he is about to be sent to the battlefield to die.
At this critical moment, when life and death hang in the balance, Chen Changsheng activates the Daily Intelligence System:
One: Yesterday, you gazed toward South Mountain and learned that there is a rabbit hole beyond the black pine forest.
Two: Yesterday, you heard that you would be assigned a wife today and learned that Su Wanyi, the daughter of a disgraced official, is alluring and brings good fortune to her husband.
Three: Yesterday, you heard a dog barking and learned that the vicious dog belonging to Chief Banner Officer Li Delu has a talent for hunting.
