Brocade-Clad and Kidney-Strong

Veteran Qi Dawei became a traveling merchant just to survive. He never expected to transmigrate to the Great Ming after an accident and become a hundred-household officer of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He has to provide for his men and their families, and help the emperor rebuild a crumbling dynasty. He crushes barbarian tribes, takes on corrupt gentry, saves the common people, and fights foreign invaders. He is the living saint of the Great Ming, praised by the people; a rebellious traitor in the eyes of the eunuch faction; a thorn in the side of the Donglin Party; the rebels' number-one enemy; and the top-ranked scoundrel on the East India Company's blacklist. To his wife, he's a stupid, dark-skinned oaf; to the emperor, the number-one lackey; to his father-in-law, a fine son-in-law; and to countless Great Ming soldiers, an idol.
