Awakening in the Qing Dynasty

At 38, a laid-off director gets drunk and transmigrates into the late Qing dynasty, becoming an impoverished palace secretary. Using his modern knowledge, he advises Cixi and trains troops to conquer the world, rising from commoner to legendary war god. Just as his achievements threaten the throne, he wakes up: it was all a fleeting dream on the night he lost his job. After waking, he brings the courage from his dream back to reality.
