   A story of power struggles between the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China! A tale of warships and cannons. Of all things to transmigrate to, I've been transported to the most detailed period in modern history. Western capitalist powers are entering the imperial era, greedily carving up the world. I've come! I've witnessed! I've conquered! An eye for an eye, I'll make the world remember the profound heritage of this ancient civilization. The powers are merely the threshold to my rule. I will ensure that future generations of my countrymen, upon reading this history, can proudly look down upon the world. Five thousand years of civilization are glossed over, while a century of humiliation is divided into two volumes. Remember history, never forget national shame.
