About This Novel

In the first century AD, the Roman Empire was in turmoil. Modern man Li Xi travels into the body of a dying retired centurion, facing the desperate situation of his wife's death and daughter's illness, and being pursued by loan sharks. He carried sacks from Egyptian grain ships and earned copper coins from his blood at the docks of the Tiber River. His faded scarlet cloak bore witness to his past glory. The turnaround came from sugarcane bagasse left behind by a Syrian merchant ship. Li Xi set up an iron pot in the abandoned bathhouse and used distillation to boil crystal sugar cubes. When the sugar-carved Venus made a stunning appearance at the senator's birthday party, the Roman aristocrats went crazy for the sweetness. The huge profits led to a night attack, but they were counterattacked by the poisonous crossbow in the dark wall. Under the moonlight, caramel and blood blended strangely. Li Xi took advantage of the opportunity to cling to the senator Claudius and dig out ironclad evidence that his political enemies were collaborating with the enemy. On the night when the emperor suddenly died, he led three hundred veterans to control the Bohe granary, and his dagger pierced the golden breastplate of the commander of the Imperial Guard. When the Gallic legions defected, the Senate tremblingly presented purple and gold ribbons. During the coronation ceremony, the skylight of the Pantheon enveloped the frosted map, and the daughter's Sabine turban and purple robe shone brightly. Stroking the rusty soldier card of the original owner, the new emperor listened to the sugar factory boiling the blood and sweat of slaves into gold crystals - this empire was made of honey and steel, and the bones of the enemy were spread under the throne. The undercurrent of the Tiber River surges, and the New Rome spawned by the Sweet Revolution is forging the iron law of slavery and capital into a sharper ruling machine.
