In this world, when it comes to supernatural powers, the first one that comes to mind is the flower-wielding monk Lu Zhishen, who can uproot a willow tree with ease. If he didn't possess the strength of a thousand catties in each arm, how could he move trees?" "You are ignorant. Have you not heard of Li Kui, the Little Overlord, who lifted thousands of catties of city gates in Beijing and successfully escaped from the four-way ambush? How could he be compared to an ordinary mortal?" "Even if Li Kui has the greatest supernatural power, when it comes to loyalty and righteousness, it must be Song Jiang from Yuncheng. He has always been generous and selfless, always ready to help others in times of difficulty. People call him the Timely Rain. When he became famous, Li Kui hadn't even been born yet, haha." "No way, Song Jiang's loyalty is limited, how can he compare to Li Kui? Not only does Li Kui have no equal in friendship with the martial world, but even the people of Beijing remember his kindness. He is the true savior of thousands of families and someone who is righteous to the heavens. When it comes to the first place, there is no doubt that it belongs to Li Kui."

Tiger General of the Great Tang Dynasty

In the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, a young Tiger Guard emerged. He was Luo Shixin, the historical prototype of Luo Cheng in the novel. At the age of fourteen, he joined the army and challenged the enemy alone, but no one dared to respond. Emperor Yang of Sui heard of his name and ordered a painter to depict his appearance on the battlefield. He was loyal and courageous, and though he only fought for six years, he experienced countless battles and had a renowned reputation. In the battle against Liu Heida, Luo Shixin, with only two hundred soldiers, defended the ruined city of Mingshui against tens of thousands of Liu Heida's troops. He fought bitterly for eight days and nights, until he was captured and died at the young age of twenty, a brave martyr. Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was deeply saddened and posthumously named him with the word "Valiant". A modern person accidentally traveled back to the early Tang Dynasty and possessed Luo Shixin's body just one day before the fall of Mingshui City, when Luo Shixin died. Using the most tragic time travel, under the name of "Valiant," he created a new legend. PS: Thanks to the cover team of the forum for providing the cover!

All of my concubines are talented.

Reincarnated into this body, I ascended the throne at the age of five, assumed full power at fifteen, and now at the age of twenty-five. During my reign, I learned glassmaking, soap making, developed cement, and bred rice. I taught the empress dowager to play mahjong for leisure, led my soldiers to barbecue in the frontier, established the royal bank, and repaired the main roads of each province. This led to a prosperous era of peace under the mighty Mount Yue! However, the good times did not last long, as the world became unpredictable. Massive floods in the southeast, severe droughts in the northwest, frequent earthquakes, and border troubles disrupted the peace that had lasted for a long time. Upon the earnest request of my courtiers who had enjoyed peace for so long, I issued a decree to admit my own faults and pray to the heavens sincerely. I chuckled, for this is a historical fiction, and you all seemed to have stumbled upon the wrong channel. Thus, I issued four imperial edicts and dispatched three envoys, and within just over two months, the court was no longer filled with complaints. The decree to admit faults was merely a joke, for I still intend to perform the Taishan mountain worship to chat with the heavens. On an auspicious day atop Mount Tai, the young emperor, full of spirit and vigor, is ready to embark on this momentous occasion. Just then, a person, wielding a sword, emerged from the clouds, forever changing my perception of the world...
