Starting with a City: My Reign on the Frontier

share time: 2026-01-13 00:36:32

Yun Zhao, a disgraced lord exiled to the frontier, takes over a city reduced to rubble. On his first day, he encounters Su Wanning, a fleeing woman with a letter to bring down the corrupt prime minister—she mistakes Yun Zhao for the prime minister’s henchman and attacks, only to be saved by him. Forced to cooperate to defend the city, Yun Zhao uses his business acumen to secure grain for starving villagers, while Su Wanning heals the sick with her医术. As their walls come down, the prime minister’s men arrive, and Su Wanning is shocked to learn Yun Zhao is the “nameless guard” who took a fatal sword for her years ago. Yun Zhao, who’s known her identity all along, admits he never guarded the city—he guarded the unspoken “I’ll protect you.” But when the prime minister threatens Su Wanning’s family unless Yun Zhao surrenders the city, he must choose between love and the lives of his people.
