Fire Me, General? I'll Become a Grandmaster!

Ninth Prince Ye Zhao sacrificed everything to defend the empire's shattered frontier, transforming it into an unbreakable fortress. His crushing victory over the Baiyue tribes should have earned glory—instead, treacherous officials conspire to destroy him. Stripped of his rank as Grand General and summoned to the capital for execution, Ye Zhao awakens the Heaven-Defying System at the brink of death. Now every book he reads, every ancient relic he touches unlocks devastating powers. They wanted him powerless? He'll return as an unstoppable Grandmaster.
