   The soul transmigrates into the body of the young Shen Yan, a story of utter chaos from the start. He has no system, yet he is not mindless or invincible; he possesses political acumen. In the early stages, he utilizes modern knowledge to arrange a marriage and avenge his mother. In the mid-game, he enters the imperial court, developing his power and technology. Later, he unlocks the potential of sulfur and gunpowder technology, conquering the seas. With massive warships and powerful cannons, he crushes Japanese pirates, subdues the South Seas, and carves out territory in Liaodong and Zhoushan, ultimately becoming a Prince with nine bestowed titles. His eldest son, with golden eyes, identifies minerals and forges cannons; his second son is exceptionally brave and charges into battle; his third son commands the army and defends the borders; and his fourth son is passionate about technology, inventing and creating. The Shen family of Zhoushan is thus granted the title of King of the Seas. A decree of imperial authority, forever guarding the southeast—ultimately becoming a powerful clan, neither king nor emperor, yet commanding the banners of all nations to bow in submission! 🤤🤤

   Highly recommended! These books are all excellent. In them, you'll find epic tales rooted in real history! There's no fictional fantasy here, only the clash of civilizations amidst swords and shadows. From the flames of war against the Jin dynasty in the Southern Song to the isolated cities of the Western Regions during the Tang dynasty, intrigue and passion intertwine. The protagonists either transform into emperors and generals, outwitting powerful figures, or ordinary people, stirring up the world's chessboard. They use modern thinking to clash with ancient rules, staging a hardcore, exhilarating experience of "rewriting history." Each book contains a "historical butterfly effect" that will leave you amazed.
