I'm Just a Human-Robot

Other people transmigrate with a System and a pocket dimension, starting at the peak of their lives.

Li Huai gets a disastrous start: an empty house, debts piling up, and the body of a penniless scholar too weak to even wring a chicken’s neck.

A System? A pocket dimension? No such luck! I’ve got the ultimate cheat code: five thousand years of Chinese civilization!

From the start, a copy of The Art of War lets me crush the opposition and win against stronger foes.

With a casual transcription of The Exploitation of the Works of Nature, I create one-of-a-kind equipment, monopolize the market, and become richer than the state.

Short on medicine and supplies? With Essential Techniques for the Welfare of the People in hand, I can grow rare medicinal herbs like cabbages!

Shang Yang’s reforms? Hand them over! Land reform, a military merit-based nobility system, and an end to hereditary privilege. I’ll work those aristocrats into the ground!

Imperial examinations, simplified taxes, a provincial system... Knowledge is productive force, and I’ll change the world with my brains!

Papermaking and printing, the liberation of thought; seed drills and the Dujiangyan irrigation system, the infrastructure frenzy is on!

But just as a golden age is about to begin, why are the emperor’s daughter, the chancellor’s heiress, and a foreign princess all showing up at my door asking to cooperate (through marriage)?

Li Huai rubs his temples. “Ladies, can’t we talk business first?”
