The Gobi Lord's Rise to Power

Framed and exiled to Dry Spring Fortress, Shen Yan transformed the wasteland into a Silk Road hub. He faced Jasper King, bandits besieging the fortress, imperial inspectors with false charges, and traitors. He repelled invaders, cleared his family's name, fell in love with Lila Avery, and together they wrote *Chronicle of Spring Fort*. From exiled official to hereditary Marquess of Spring Fort, he built a prosperous frontier city.
