Yang Wei, a PhD in physics and chemistry from the 21st century, wakes up to find himself the young master of a family in Guangzhou’s Thirteen Hongs in 1900! The moment he opens his eyes, he’s faced with the Eight-Nation Alliance’s relentless bombardment and a country torn apart. Yet in his hands lies a trump card of knowledge from a hundred years in the future. He speaks five languages fluently, knows every humiliating clause of the Boxer Protocol by heart, and possesses scientific expertise capable of overturning the era.
With his father gravely ill and the family business weighing on his shoulders, this young master, armed with a cheat, wastes no time. He builds industries, smelts steel, manufactures gunpowder, and improves firearms, forging strong armor and powerful weapons with equations. He opens factories, promotes education, and secretly allies with patriots, wielding industry like a blade to tear through the darkness. On one side, China sinks beneath the iron hooves of foreign powers; on the other, a transmigrator’s science ignites a spark that will engulf the land.
“Since history chose me, I’ll make sure the Boxer Protocol is never signed in this life!”
Yang Wei, a doctor of physics and chemistry in the 21st century, woke up and became the young boss of the Thirteenth Bank of Guangzhou in 1900! When he opened his eyes, he saw the Eight-Nation Allied Forces' artillery fire and the dangerous situation of broken mountains and rivers, but what he held in his hand was a knowledge trump card that spanned a century - he was proficient in the languages of the five countries, familiar with every humiliating clause of the "Xinchou Treaty", and mastered the physical and chemical technology that could subvert the era. When his father was seriously ill and the family's financial burden was on his shoulders, this "cheating" young master no longer hesitated: he set up industry, made steel, made gunpowder, improved firearms, and used equations to forge strong armor and soldiers; he set up factories, established education, secretly formed alliances with lofty ideals, and used industry as an edge to tear through the darkness. On one side is China's Luchen under the iron heel of the great powers, and on the other side is the prairie fire ignited by the travelers using science. "Since history has chosen me, in this life, I will never let the "Xinchou Treaty" be written!"
