You have caused me great suffering!

Modern Gu Chen was transported through time due to a car accident and became the General Who Pacifies the North, who was sentenced to death by Empress Qin Wushuang. Facing betrayal and the threat of death, he chose to resist. The original owner was disheartened by the empress's suspicion and the family's letter urging surrender, but Gu Chen refused to accept death. He led his army to approach the capital, proclaimed himself emperor, and broke with his sister Gu Qianxue and others. Qin Wushuang tried to ease the conflict by proposing marriage, but Gu Chen staged a "calling a deer a horse" in the Golden Luan Hall. Under the guise of a blood-sweating horse, he led a donkey into the court, eliminated dissidents, smashed the carved mirror symbolizing falsehood, and exposed the truth of the empress's emotional manipulation. He pressed forward step by step, demanding abdication in the name of purging the emperor's side. Finally, he broke the shackles of the monarch-minister relationship, reversed the situation in the power game, transformed from a pawn sentenced to death into a chess player controlling the court, and his power struggle with the empress ran through the whole process, showing a path of revenge from despair to rise.
