Li Yuanba, the Greatest Emperor of All Time

[Feel-Good Story] + [Overwhelming Invincibility] + [Comedy and Everyday Life] + [Contrasting Styles] + [Fast-Paced, High-Stakes Plot]

Modern top special forces soldier Xiao Chen dies in the line of duty during a top-secret mission. His soul unexpectedly transmigrates into the chaotic final years of the Sui Dynasty, where he becomes Li Yuanba, the youngest son of Duke of Tang Li Yuan, who has been regarded as an oddity since childhood. He has no System to support him and no golden finger to rely on, only the resilience and intelligence of a special forces soldier and innate strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

He studies under a master in the mountains and trains hard in martial arts. Wielding a pair of 1,800-pound purple-gold, eight-sided hammers, he sweeps across the land and achieves unrivaled power, unmatched throughout history. He applies modern farming methods to improve crops and redesign farm tools, earning the people's support and building his strength as he rises to prominence amid the conflicts at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

He raises an army against the Sui, sweeps aside the warlords, recruits famous generals and worthy officials, and carves a path through the chaos in blood. He kills his brothers and father, seizes power, ascends the throne, establishes the Great Yan Dynasty, and brings order to the land. He opens canals between the north and south to promote trade, dispatches ocean-going fleets to connect with the world, strengthens the army and defenses, and cleans up official governance. At last, he becomes an emperor for the ages, drawing envoys from every nation and ushering in a glorious golden age.

Along his bloody campaign, he is accompanied by three deep romances: a gentle empress who was his childhood sweetheart, a spirited female general who fights by his side, and a peerlessly clever and breathtakingly beautiful consort. Seven chance encounters with beautiful women add color to his journey, while comical everyday moments offer a break from the bloody conflicts. Internet memes pop up throughout, blending passion with warmth, and political intrigue with comedy, to tell the legendary tale of an emperor who transmigrated.
