Yongli: The Sun and Moon Begin Anew

Modern historian Zhu Lin unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of Zhu Youlang, the last emperor of the Southern Ming, awakening on the eve of the Massacre at the Shuidu River. Facing imminent slaughter and the hangman's noose, he uses his knowledge of the future to defy fate: he kills a traitor with poisoned wine, persuades the great general Li Dingguo to retreat to Siam, and kindles the spark of restoration in the darkest hour.

From improving flintlock guns and building a prototype steam engine to forming a pirate alliance in the Strait of Malacca and confronting the East India Company, this time traveler reshapes the order of East Asia with iron will and political cunning. When the Eight Banners cavalry encounters naval mines on Lake Dongting, and Japanese pirates face line infantry on the shores of Kyushu, history takes a completely different course. The “sun that never sets” flag will one day fly across Japan.

This is a hard-edged struggle for supremacy spanning thirty years, the wildest epic ever written by a modern soul in the seventeenth century.
