Modern corporate drone Li Kuan unexpectedly transmigrates into the Zhenguan era as the notorious “chief of Chang’an’s four scourges,” Prince Chu Li Kuan, and gets the Infrastructure Maniac System from the start. He wins over Cheng Yaojin with spicy strips, uses glass trading to crush the Five Great Clans, and does everything he can to avoid the deadly succession struggle. But his own father, Li Shimin, turns the tables on him: “You little brat, I’m entrusting my empire to you so you can expand its borders!” From growing a “granary beyond the frontier” in the deserts of Liangzhou to conquering the chieftains of the Southern Seas with spicy strips, then leading ironclad ships to bombard the Arab Empire, Li Kuan has a Persian empress at his left and a childhood sweetheart turned business tycoon at his right. With the All-Rounder System backing him, he leads the Tang Dynasty into a global colonial expansion a thousand years ahead of schedule. When the elderly Li Shimin sails around the world on a steamship, he discovers that his son has already founded the “New Tang Federation” in the Americas. “That brat even set up a mahjong table in Rome!”
