While intercepting Dragon’s suicide, the young General Teng transmigrates into the body of the nation’s open secret—the puppet emperor. The first and biggest problem is, they have completely different personalities. 

Can the new “Dragon” withstand the deep palace plots and dirty schemes and unify the nation once more? Yes, but he is still a few wars and many romances short of ready.

“Who on your side will fight in the duel?” the Eastern king asked.

Dragon stood up, tall and proud. Stretching out one hand, he slammed it against his chest.

“Me.”

“Oh my kingship, what are you doing?!?!” the imperial eunuch whispered nervously from the sidelines. “You’ve never learned any martial arts!”

----------
General Teng, loved and praised for his military prowess, accidentally dies and becomes the nation's emperor "Dragon."

Unlike his former self who had large military backing, Emperor Dragon has no support in the imperial court at all.

Thus, with his experience in war strategies, Dragon plans to rebuild an army within the palace walls from bottom up. 

However this time, it won't be an army of men. It'll be a force much more suitable in a world of schemes and power struggles---girls.


Full summary:
The great Emperor of Jin suddenly dies of illness. His appointed crown prince heir goes missing. In his stead, the next-in-line heir is incompetent and only knows how to fool around with women. Fearing for their nation, the royal counsel forcefully instates the late king’s favorite—17th Prince Long “Dragon”—as their puppet emperor.  

Cornered by the impending war and political struggles, the once innocent and naïve Dragon suffers from insurmountable amounts of pressures, depression, and assassinations. One day, he attempts suicide by jumping down the balcony deck of his palace. However, his plan was unpredictably intercepted by the young General Teng who heroically exchanged his life for the king. 

Sort of.
