Great Han: I'm Zhang Qian, Returned from an Embassy to the Western Regions

Zhang Qian transmigrates to a parallel world.

He discovers that during Emperor Wu's reign, the Han Dynasty in this timeline is getting trounced by the Xiongnu.

Why has the Marquis of Champion, Huo Qubing, never appeared?

Sign in by traveling as an envoy to the Western Regions...

Sign in by sailing west across the oceans...

When Emperor Wu sees what Zhang Qian has brought back from his journeys to the Western Regions and across the oceans, he is stunned.

Years later, the Han Dynasty has not only wiped out the Xiongnu, but conquered the four seas and five continents.

Emperor Wu: "Sir, you are the greatest hero of the Han Empire. Without you, how could our dynasty have achieved such glory? From now on, you and I shall share this realm..."
