[Behind-the-scenes strategist + identity never exposed + imaginative foreign history + heroes vying for supremacy + no romance]
On the chessboard, there are no players; everyone is a piece placed in the middle.
Beneath the board, none are mere spectators; they are the ones moving the pieces.
Kongming is forcibly bound by a System and sent to a famous historical period in Prussia to complete a mission. There are countless people he must win over, from kings and marshals to commoners. But Kongming is merely a chancellor from the East. How could he ever have been to this distant land?
“System, don't you have a little too much faith in me?”
“I don't know! They say I'm incredibly lucky to have met you, sir!”
Kongming remains expressionless. Running into such a rookie System really is a stroke of luck.
Still, it seems there may be a way to complete the mission. The shop is full of all sorts of strange things, and the System can even transform into a divine dragon. Couldn't he disguise himself as a god, then?
So, not long after the King of Prussia takes the throne, with the empire beset by internal and external troubles and on the brink of collapse,
a Lord from on high descends.
After much effort, Prussia welcomes its Lord from on high.
First, purge the interior; then, build infrastructure and stockpile grain. Finally, keep the title of king at arm's length.
Years later, looking at the progress bar at last filled to completion, Kongming smiles and says, “Vast heavens above, why have you been so hard on me?”
