Emperor Zhaolie of the late Han Dynasty: Rising to power in Liaoxi

A dream reveals the past, a lifetime of wandering. At fifteen, Liu Bei, a young man, abandoned his hometown of Zhuojun and went alone to the Liaoxi frontier, starting as a county official. He relied not on noble families, nor did he curry favor with the powerful; riding alone on a white horse, he earned his merits through his own efforts. The frontier was frosty, the dust of the barbarians rose frequently, and undercurrents pressed within the city of Liaoxi. His former classmates had become formidable rivals, and his path to officialdom was fraught with danger. He did not seek fame among the lords, but only to seize the initiative and rebuild his foundation. When his white horse and silver saddle were ready, and his achievements on the frontier were established, he would reunite his old comrades from the Peach Garden Oath, gather their brotherhood, and restore the Han dynasty's land. In this life, Xuande's path began in Liaoxi and culminated in the defense of the northern border.
