After transmigrating into the young master's role at an escort agency in a border town of the Qian Kingdom, Yang Jun has no desire to rule the world. He just wants to get the rundown agency back on its feet.
He makes white sugar, brews fine liquor, and forges quality iron, turning an overlooked, isolated city into a bustling place. More and more people grow jealous of him. The county commandant wants him dead, while the Sixth Prince treats him like a sworn brother. This little city is on the verge of chaos.
But the real trouble is yet to come: 300,000 Tujue cavalry are sweeping through the northern frontier, heading straight for this border town, which barely has any soldiers to defend it.
Others see a hopeless situation. Yang Jun sees a way to make those 300,000 men come here and never make it back.
The battle is about defending the city, but once he saves it, the door to the martial world has only just opened for him.
A trip to Starshatter Tower to gaze at the stars, a cup of tea at the Dukkha Temple, a medical question for the Five Poisons Sect, a visit to the Liu family of Dragon Mountain: clutching his Demon-Slaying Saber, Yang Jun plunges headfirst into a martial world woven with grudges and feuds.
