[System] [Political Intrigue] [War] [Technology]
Qin Xiao, a history major, wakes up to find himself a cannon-fodder soldier on the battlefield at Poyang Lake!
With a butcher's blade swinging toward him, all he can think about is a "limited-edition T-shirt"! At the brink of death, the Great Ming Destiny System activates! His beginner mission? Recite the nine-word maxim "Build high walls, stockpile grain, and delay the title of king" in front of Zhu Yuanzhang?
A hellish start? No problem! Trapped in enemy territory, he uses the "frost-boiling method" to produce fine salt as white and sparkling as snow, the "winnowing stone remover" to clean grain of grit, and the "earthfire dragon beacon" to fend off the cold and enemy attacks!
Chen Youliang's thousand ironclad ships chain themselves across the river? Qin Xiao offers "fire-adhesive mines" to set the sky ablaze and split the fleet apart, and "fire dragon arrows" that rocket through the air! A tech geek's comeback sets the battlefield ablaze!
But beneath the surface, undercurrents churn in Yingtian. Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial schemes are unfathomable, Li Shanchang's cunning follows like a shadow, and Hu Weiyong's cruelty hides deadly intent. The cold and beautiful physician Shen Qingyi, burdened by a blood feud, goes from hostility toward him to wavering in her resolve. Xu Da's approval, Chang Yuchun's attempt to "poach" him, Liu Bowen's penetrating scrutiny, and Empress Ma's jade pendant protecting him... In this power struggle amid the chaos at the end of the Yuan dynasty, he wields the System and uses "ingenious inventions" as his blade, navigating between giants of history. Through bloodshed and political intrigue, he carves out a path to survival, stirs the winds of change, helps Zhu Yuanzhang unite the realm, and wins himself a glorious Great Ming!
