[Transmigration + Ancient Setting + Farming + Nation-Building + Technology + War + Revenge]
(A note before you begin: The fictional He Dynasty in this book is an Eastern dynasty with technology at the level of the world before the Crimean War.)
Li Ying is a mechanical designer in his forties who has been forced into the ranks of the unemployed. A history buff, he falls asleep reading at home and wakes to find that he has transmigrated to the era covered in the history book he was reading, in the body of a twenty-year-old marquis's son who shares his name.
As a veteran designer and history enthusiast, Li Ying laughs at the thought of having skills far beyond those of his new era. Then a bolt from the blue strikes.
“What?! How did I get exiled to Jiangning?! And this place is a backwater! All I have that’s any use are a few big ships, three servants, and a bunch of second-rate troops whose loyalties are anyone’s guess. What am I supposed to do?!”
He learns that his predecessor’s father was framed to death by a powerful old minister and his political enemies at court. The court’s men are now keeping him under house arrest and surveillance, and there are even signs they intend to kill him.
Li Ying grits his teeth and declares, “Leave someone a way out, and you can meet again another day. You’ve gone too far, so don’t expect this modern man to show these ancients any mercy.”
With his brains and craftsmanship, and a host of talented people gathered around him, how will Li Ying defend himself and strike back, unite Great Hua in a collapsing world, win the hand of his beloved, and establish a new order?
