The Border Army's Toughest Soldier

Political scheming + frontier army + fiery battles + satisfying power fantasy

Modern young man Tang Shun soul-transmigrates into an age of war and becomes a low-ranking border soldier. As seven kingdoms vie for supremacy and the people suffer, he opens his eyes only to find himself crawling through a heap of corpses.

He earns merit by killing the enemy and is promoted to squad leader. He is given a beauty, but then ordered to lead nine men in a rearguard action, a mission meant to send them all to their deaths.

Starting as a squad leader, he rises through the ranks step by step, playing the pig to eat the tiger and secretly expanding his power until his influence sweeps through villages, towns, and counties.

With military power in his hands and grand ambitions in his heart, he puts down rebellions while resisting powerful states. In the end, he conquers all seven kingdoms, unifies the realm, and ascends the throne as emperor.

The beauty becomes empress, his brothers become powerful ministers, and the story of one modern man's rise in ancient times becomes legend.
