Dong Qingshan, an ordinary game otaku, is immersed in the virtual world of strategy games all day long. He has only a vague understanding of real history and a shallow cultural background. However, the gears of fate inadvertently dragged him into a thrilling historical whirlpool.
By accident, Lin Xiaofeng traveled back to the turbulent Qing Dynasty in 1830. Here, he activated the mysterious history rewriting system and shouldered a seemingly impossible mission - to rewrite the fate of the Qing Dynasty, allowing this ancient empire to defeat the great powers and become the world's largest country.
With no historical background or profound culture, he relied on the strategic thinking accumulated in the game and the "enterprising spirit" unique to gamers to embark on this counterattack path full of thorns. From being at a loss when he first entered the Qing Dynasty to gaining the trust of the Guangzhou prefect's staff with improvised strategies, Lin Xiaofeng took the first step to rewrite history.
In the process, he encountered many difficulties. The great powers were waiting around, eager to carve up the Qing Dynasty; the domestic conservative forces were stubborn and obstructed the reform in every possible way. But Lin Xiaofeng did not back down. He used the network expansion card rewarded by the system to gradually weave his own power network; in the key tasks released by the system one after another, such as responding to the opium crisis, preparing for the Westernization Movement, and laying out the diplomatic chess game, he continued to grow, from an ignorant boy who knew only a little about history to a leader who could accurately steer the torrent of history!
