Reborn as Zhao Kuo: Empire of the Western Sands

History branded him a fool who lost 400,000 men at Changping—but what if he got a second chance? Zhao Kuo awakens years before his infamous defeat, armed with foreknowledge and a desperate plan to save his crumbling kingdom. Victory, however, breeds paranoia: the king he saved now sees him as a threat. Forced into a bloody coup, Zhao pivots from savior to conqueror, turning his gaze westward. While Qin Shi Huang unifies the Central Plains, Zhao carves an empire from the endless deserts and steppes of the Western Regions. Two titans. Two civilizations. One rewritten destiny.
