    Reader note

    I recommend a hardcore warlord novel! The protagonist transmigrates back to the late Qing Dynasty. Although he has a system, it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. It follows real historical events and uses advanced thinking to change the political landscape. It gets increasingly addictive as it progresses. Fans of Republican-era war and political intrigue should definitely check it out. [Already hooked][Already hooked][Already hooked][Already hooked][Already hooked]
