Reborn as Yue Fei: I Refuse the Imperial Decree at Yancheng

A modern history buff wakes up to find he has transmigrated into the body of Yue Fei, the famed general of the Southern Song.

It is now the tenth year of the Jianyan era. Outside Yancheng, Wanyan Zongbi personally leads the elite Iron Pagoda and Light Cavalry units to the city walls. Yue Fei's army has suffered heavy casualties, yet it is only one step away from marching straight to Huanglong.

Worse still, Qin Hui's faction has been secretly laying plans in Lin'an, and twelve gold tablets are already on their way. In history, Yue Fei is forced to withdraw at this very moment, only to die unjustly at Fengbo Pavilion. The Central Plains fall, and the Southern Song clings to a corner of the south.

But in this life, Yue Fei will no longer be the tragic hero who remains blindly loyal to the bitter end.

He carries all the memories of later generations, knows who is loyal and who is treacherous, knows every weakness of the Jin army, and knows what awaits the Song if he fails to change history.

He no longer rushes recklessly into battle. First, he steadies the army, purges traitors, and arranges his formations. In the bloody battle at Yancheng, he meets the Iron Pagoda head-on, wins at a terrible cost, and refuses to retreat. When he rushes to reinforce Yingchang, he forcibly changes Yang Zaixing's fate of dying at Xiaoshang River. And when the court's envoys arrive time and again with orders to withdraw, he no longer blindly obeys.

"All my life, I, Yue Fei, have been loyal to the Song realm and protected the people of the Central Plains. Treacherous ministers have thrown the court into chaos and brought ruin to the country and its people. I will not obey this decree!"

From the moment he defies the order at Yancheng, Yue Fei is no longer a pawn controlled by fate. He will root out Qin Hui's faction, storm Huanglong Prefecture, bring back the Two Emperors, and rewrite the fate of the entire Southern Song.

But suspicion in the court, the Jin army's counterattacks, and divisions within his ranks make every step perilous.

Can Yue Fei defy fate this time?

Can twelve gold tablets stop a Yue Fei who knows the future?
