He Mingyu, an invisible concubine-born son of the Marquis of Yongchang's household, was branded a disgrace to the family and died of illness on the road to exile.
When he opened his eyes again, his mind had been replaced by that of a modern research genius, and he had been forcibly bound to a System called Civilization's Rise.
The System's goal: overturn the fate of a doomed cannon-fodder character and sow the seeds of civilization across different worlds.
Where did the System come from, and what is its purpose? Unknown.
For now, he had to survive!
In the low-martial world of Power Over All:
His legitimate elder brother wanted him dead? He used "snowflake salt" to turn the tables and secure a chance to live.
The land of exile was a savage, miasma-ridden wasteland? He built saltworks and made bamboo paper, turning barren land into a prosperous realm.
The old order saw him as a heretic? Then he would use knowledge beyond his era to lay the foundations of his own power.
From a condemned man on the brink of death, he became a "variable" the age could not ignore.
And this was only the beginning of his journey across the myriad heavens, into the stars, wastelands, fantasy realms, apocalyptic worlds...
At first, all he wanted was to survive. Later, he wanted to uncover the truth behind the System.
Until one day, from behind the System's cold barrier, came a voice that crossed dimensions... "Help."
