Lord of the Northwest

Transported to a parallel world, the protagonist barely has time to settle in before discovering his predecessor left him with a mountain of debt—all for a plot of land purchased with loan shark money. After a heated confrontation with the collectors, he's weighing his options, including a hasty retreat, when an unexpected visitor arrives: a man claiming to be Wu Song. And he's only the first. Soon, figures from classic literature and history begin appearing at his doorstep. Lü Bu boasts of capturing Diao Chan and bringing her along. Qin Qiong swears eternal gratitude and volunteers to serve as a door god. Yang Zaixing finds himself baffled by the locals' inexplicably high combat prowess. And Xin Qiji, poet and warrior, waxes nostalgic about his days of steel horses and thunderous charges—only to pause and wonder if the "iron horse" before him is the real thing. This story takes its time to build, so settle in for a slow-burn journey through legend, loyalty, and unexpected leadership.
