A Century-Old Clan: From the Late Ming Dynasty to Colonizing the World

Reborn in the late Ming Dynasty, Jiang Chen obtains a family sign-in System. He discovers that as long as he keeps raising his family's level, he can claim generous rewards after signing in.

The late Ming Dynasty was a turning point between Eastern and Western civilizations.

The West's Age of Discovery was nearing its height, and Western civilization was spreading around the globe with the colonizers.

Meanwhile, the East had fallen under the ignorant rule of foreign invaders.

From the late Ming onward, China no longer stood among the world's great civilizations.

Jiang Chen is determined to change everything.

He is a pioneer of the budding Ming-era capitalist economy, a founder of modern agriculture, and the instigator of the East's first Industrial Revolution.

In that era, he leads China out of the fear of foreign rule, gathers refugees, opens up trade routes, overcomes the food crisis, and suppresses the refugee rebellions. His family, too, becomes a pillar of the age.
