"The Ultimate Mastermind"
Are you willing to die and be a foolish and loyal ghost? Or stir up a storm and be the master of chess!
Xu Ran, a talented engineer who was overwhelmed by the modern workplace, spent his life making wedding dresses for others until his death. An unexpected sudden death did not bring an end to him, but he woke up on the bed of the first counselor of the Daqi Dynasty.
The original owner of the body, the master of great achievements, was jealous of the emperor, and his life was eaten away by the poisonous schemes of the harem. The so-called "first counselor" actually lived such a miserable life.
The modern soul and the memory of ancient power merge perfectly at this moment. The former social beast has seen everything clearly: loyalty only results in the end of the rabbit and the dog.
In this life, he is determined to change his way of life! The emperor's mind? He easily solved it with modern game theory! Harem poison plan? He uses his knowledge of chemistry to fight fire with fire! War on the border? He rubs firearms with his hands, reduces dimensionality and strikes, and reshapes the rules of war!
Utilizing knowledge that transcends his time, he hides behind the scenes and controls the world: improving agriculture and controlling the economic lifeline; spreading public opinion and shaking the foundation of imperial power; building up forces and establishing a new order that only obeys his orders.
The empress's cronies who suppressed him in the past will eventually fall to their knees; the emperor who is aloof and manipulative will eventually suffer the consequences.
From chess piece to chess player, from counselor to master behind the scenes. This is the ultimate subversion of ancient rules by modern reason! See how Xu Ran plays with the world and annexes mountains and rivers in this era of great strife
