Grandmaster Strategist: Prodigal to Regent

Empress Nangong Yue’s recruitment edict is claimed by Yang Xuan—a wastrel who dies of terror after being tricked. Reborn with a modern soul, he humiliates his traitorous fiancée, crushes dissenters, and cripples the Huns with biological/economic warfare. His ""Grace Extension Decree"" dismantles warlords without battle. Yang funds the empire by draining corrupt officials through elite clubs and artifact scams, then exposes their crimes at a deadly feast. When rebels ally with 100,000 Huns to besiege the capital, he fakes death to lure traitors, then annihilates them with modern artillery. Transforming Empress Nangong from puppet to visionary, their partnership deepens into devotion. From branded prodigal to history’s grandmaster strategist, Yang proves true power lies in the wisdom to save nations.
