This is not a power fantasy. It is a story set in history, and history woven into a story.
Zhou Ning, a modern man who transmigrates into the body of a Boxer, draws on his historical knowledge to grow step by step into a powerful figure who helps shape the Republic of China’s politics, economy, diplomacy, and culture.
The story explores the birth, growth, and struggles of the Republic of China from every angle, unfolding at a measured pace with rich, compelling detail.
The historical research is meticulous. Readers passionate about the history of the late Qing and early Republic are welcome to join the discussion, and everyone is welcome to point out any historical events in the book that are not rigorous enough.
