Summary
After transmigrating into a turbulent ancient world, he is framed in a honey trap and exiled to the empire’s harsh frontier.
The emperor believes sending him to the border will leave him powerless, while the court eagerly waits to watch him struggle and fail.
But no one knows that he possesses knowledge from the modern world.
With his expertise, he transforms barren wastelands into fertile farmland, develops advanced steelmaking techniques, builds powerful weapons, and trains an elite iron cavalry.
While the imperial court remains convinced that he is wasting away in the wilderness, his territory grows stronger with every passing day.
Three years later, his iron cavalry sweeps across the grasslands, striking fear into neighboring kingdoms. Even the princess of an enemy nation is forced to kneel and seek a marriage alliance.
Only then does the emperor realize his greatest mistake.
The man he exiled was never a useless pawn.
He was the hidden dragon of Great Zhou.
Standing over the vast frontier he has transformed into his own powerful domain, he declares:
“Your Majesty, this entire frontier… belongs to me now.”
What began as a punishment becomes the first step toward his rise to absolute power.
