The northern border of Daqian suffers from frequent foreign invasions, and court aristocrats are intertwined with border military forces. Lingzhou's border administration is corrupt, people's livelihoods are in distress, and it is deeply trapped in a governance crisis. Tang Shun, a low-ranking military officer from the Northern Court Army, steps forward during the mutiny of frontier defeated troops, reorganizes his troops and protects the common people, breaking the deadlock and seeking survival with extraordinary insight and courage. He goes against the current to recommend himself to govern Lingzhou, withstands the heavy tests of aristocratic family interference and official obstruction, rectifies official discipline, promotes military farming and solidifies defense, and pacifies refugees, solving the chronic ills of the borderlands through practical work. Growing step by step from a humble corporal, where will Tang Shun ultimately go?
