The sixth prince of the Qian Empire, Hawthorne Shaw, was framed by Crown Prince Cedric, deposed and sent into exile. On the way to exile, he awakened the Slay-to-Emperor System, and infiltrated the Northern Marches military under the alias Qin. He rose from the lowest rank of soldier, killed barbarian generals, exposed the treasonous Marquis Hector of Northern Border, formed an elite cavalry force and crushed the 200,000 strong army of the Barbarian Tribes. When he returned to the imperial court as the Northern Marches War God, he uncovered conspiracies step by step, quelled the palace coup, finally cleared his name and ascended the throne.
