Cao Cao Transmigrates into Tang Sanzang 曹操穿越成唐僧
A downright hilarious book! “Wukong, let me be honest with you. I love this demon general to death. I don't care whose subordinate or mount he is, he has to join our westbound pilgrimage!” --------The demons have powerful connections early on, with little variation. Later chapters... bring a huge twist!! An offbeat, surreal Journey to the West! It also takes a look at the relationships and rivalries along the pilgrimage from Cao Cao's point of view. “Why has everyone taken all my demon generals?

That means he's the ruler of all under Heaven from the start. His enemy is the Western Zhou, renowned for its benevolence. Liu Bei couldn't help smiling. “Why am I being challenged in the one thing I'm best at?” Then memories of King Zhou flooded Liu Bei's mind, and he exclaimed in alarm, “Wait!

The moment I opened my eyes, I had become Hu Hai. Qin Shi Huang had just breathed his last. Zhao Gao was smiling at me, Li Si was still hesitating, and Fusu was about to be sentenced to death. And I was the puppet who, according to history, would lose the empire in just three years. If I followed the script, I’d kill my own brother, trust Zhao Gao, rule as a tyrant, and eventually be forced to take my own life. I didn’t want to die. So I had to become emperor: a real emperor, not a marionette in

I Transmigrated Into Li Shangyin: Call Me the Late Tang Firefighter 穿越成李商隐，叫我晚唐救火队长
Not a wish-fulfillment novel. No System. Slow-paced. Important things bear repeating three times. Good news: I transmigrated. Bad news: It’s the late Tang. Good news: I’m a poet of the highest historical caliber, second only to Li Bai and Du Fu. Bad news: That’s useful, but not very. Good news: There’s sweet romance. Bad news: A life of unrecognized talent is the main theme. I came, I saw, I conquered. Since I’m here, the crumbling Tang dynasty can count on Li Yishan to patch it up.
