    I've discovered a mind-blowing new book! The protagonist transmigrates to the modern era of the Ming Dynasty, a time when the world was colonized. The world setting has been altered by multiple transmigrators, and the protagonist directly becomes a vassal king in North America. The beginning is a bit cliché: his father sacrifices himself, his engagement is annulled, and he marries three wives. But soon he becomes utterly absurd and arrogant, decisively pursuing women. First, he kills his enemies' entire families and then sleeps with other men's wives. Currently, he's pursuing a European witch and a female vampire...
