This Time, Wang Mang Really Is a Transmigrator. Entrepreneur Jiang Da is betrayed and poisoned by his wife and daughter, then transmigrates into Wang Mang just after his enthronement. He knows he is destined to be defeated by Liu Xiu, his dynasty destroyed, and himself killed. To defy fate, he first stabilizes the court and secures control of the military, sending soldiers' pay directly to the troops and founding military academies. He then promotes agriculture, restrains commerce, and tightens oversight, building steel mills, medical colleges, and modern schools to reshape the Xin dynasty with modern ideas. At home, he curbs powerful clans and nobles; abroad, he suppresses the fires of rebellion. Step by step, he fights against the chosen protagonist of fate, Liu Xiu, vowing to rewrite his tragic ending and build a new dynasty that will endure for ten thousand generations.
