Warhammer: I Never Meant to Establish a Second Empire!

Through a twist of fate, he finds himself reborn in the Warhammer universe—not as an ordinary mortal, but as a Primarch. Not just any Primarch, either: the erased Second Primarch. Knowing full well the grim fate that awaits those who step out of line, Zhao Zheng makes a solemn decision. Even when the Imperium eventually calls him back, he will keep his distance, involving himself in nothing beyond the Great Crusade and steering clear of all internal Imperial politics. To his fellow Primarchs and the wider Imperium, however, his actions paint a very different picture. With ambitions that seem to rival even Roboute Guilliman's, a military might that stands shoulder to shoulder with the First Legion, and a relentless campaign of conquest far beyond Holy Terra, he appears to be building an empire within an empire—a sovereign state of his own. Yet Zhao Zheng can only protest his innocence. In truth, he never had any intention of founding a second empire at all.
