Synopsis

Shen Yan awakens in the body of a young man, facing a disastrous start: no System, no mindless power fantasy, and no invincibility. There are political schemes to navigate. In the early stages, he uses modern knowledge, arranges a marriage alliance, and avenges his mother. In the middle stages, he enters the imperial court, builds up his power, and advances technology. Later, he unlocks the sulfur-based gunpowder technology tree and fights for dominion over the seas. His mighty ships and cannons crush the Japanese pirates, cow the Southern Seas, and carve out territories in Liaodong and Zhoushan. In the end, he becomes a prince granted the Nine Bestowments. His eldest son, with golden eyes, can identify ores and cast cannons; his second son is exceptionally fierce, charging into battle; his third commands the army and guards the borders; his fourth is passionate about technology and inventions. The Shen clan of Zhoushan cleaves the seas and claims a princely title. With an imperial iron charter guaranteeing their privileges, they are to pacify the southeast forever. In the end, they become a great hereditary clan, neither kings nor emperors, yet powerful enough to make the golden-scaled banners of every nation bow!

My Favorite Historical Novel on Tomato Novel

I'm looking for books like Taking Another Name in Langya. Transmigration isn't a dinner party; it's a deadly game at every turn. The plot should be vivid and interesting, with side characters who are smart. The protagonist should slaughter their way through life-or-death situations. It should be historically accurate, with a natural romance.

Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed

It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.
