Li Yuan transmigrated to the Liang Kingdom in a parallel world and was conscripted as a soldier household of the Great Liang Dynasty. He had to provide his own weapons, armor, and rations, always ready to fight for the court. Of course, there were benefits too—the court not only granted soldier households land and housing but also assigned them wives.

In his past life, Li Yuan had neither a house nor a wife. Now, armed with modern skills, he was determined to make a name for himself in the Great Liang Dynasty.

He has won the most flamboyant compliments and the most vicious swear words.

He is a guy with rebellion flowing in every vein in his body.

He’s a white kid who’ll never be a celebrity.

He is a young man from the countryside in the eyes of the public.

He’s Tommy Hawk.

He was born again.

Welcome to the first half of the American Dream and the second half of the American Nightmare.

Let us please, come Tommy Hawke, in the winter of 2022.
