[Transmigration + History + Spatial Dimension + War + Multiple Heroines, an absolute thrill!]
Zhao Zilong, a martial arts instructor from the modern era, transmigrates as a soul to Liaodong in the late Ming dynasty, where he becomes an orphan everyone considers an idiot.
The age of chaos has arrived: the land is strewn with the dead, rebel armies are rising, and the Jianzhou Jurchens are rampaging across the land!
Fortunately, he awakens a Spirit Spring Dimension. Its water can strengthen the body, heal wounds, and accelerate crop growth!
However, the dimension’s energy wanes with use, and only taking many wives and concubines can replenish it.
He brings Liu Rushi and Dong Xiaowan into his household, gets ahead of Chen Yuanyuan, and rescues Princess Changping… gathering the most celebrated women in history under his banner.
He defeats the rebel bandits, crushes the Eight Banners, sweeps aside the warlords, unifies the Central Plains, and sails across the seas… ultimately becoming a great emperor of China!
The book is fantastic, highly recommended! This book is fantastic! Highly recommended! The descriptions are incredibly immersive and captivating!
I wanted to give it 4.5 stars, but unfortunately I didn't. Going through all that trouble to get to a deserted island and then repeatedly running back to the mainland to find help seems like a waste of time. There are bound to be plenty of uninhabited areas on the mainland, right?
The start was good, it made me want to keep watching. Looking forward to more exciting developments!
