I, Li Shimin, Go Up Against Zhuge Liang from the Start

He woke up as Liu Shan, the last ruler of Shu Han, a kingdom on the brink of collapse? Faced with the fate of being dismissed as a hopeless fool, a soul from the future let out an indignant roar:

“No! I am Li Shimin!”

…At the very least, he would become an emperor for the ages like him!

From the start, he stood up to his “Imperial Father,” Zhuge Liang. With knowledge far ahead of its time, he staged a textbook demonstration of imperial statecraft, reclaiming the throne’s authority and putting the court in order.

He destroyed Cao Wei, subdued Eastern Wu, and united the realm. But that was only the beginning.

When the roar of the steam engine first echoed through the valleys, and electric lights illuminated the nights of Chang’an;

when iron dragons (trains) began racing across the empire’s plains, and fleets of airships slowly rose to blot out the sky;

when the dragon banners of the East flew above the Suez Canal, and ancient Rome trembled before the might of the Celestial Empire at Chang’an’s World Expo…

Only then did the world truly learn what “Great Han” meant!

This is the story of how technology and ideas laid the foundations for an empire on which the sun would never set.

This is the epic of an emperor who began as “A Dou” and ultimately held the stars in his hands.

My journey is to the stars and the sea!
