   "Before you saw this flower, it and your mind were both in a state of stillness. When you see this flower, its colors suddenly become clear, and you know that this flower is not outside your mind."

    Reader note

    After reading "Entropy New World," I was completely hooked. It wasn't because of the system, the cheat code, or the invincible halo, but because of a truly strategic "defying fate" game. Transmigrating into Wang Mang, he faced a dead end from the start. There were no mission prompts, no skill panels, and no cheat codes to foresee the future. His only "cheat code" was a soul from the modern world and a heart unwilling to be strangled by history. Awakening at age eight, he found himself in a powerful family, amidst turbulent court politics and impending chaos. He couldn't cultivate immortality, couldn't summon spirits, and could only rely on his carefully laid plans: using glass technology to disrupt trade in the Western Regions, secretly building a hundred schools of thought through the Mohist organization, waging economic warfare to undermine the foundations of powerful families, and weaving a power web through marriage... From Marquis of Xindu to Prime Minister, from Chang'an to the Western Regions, from the northern deserts to the South China Sea, he used knowledge, political maneuvering, and the power of the people to transform a seemingly hopeless path into a path of hegemony. But this is more than just a typical "transmigration to become emperor" story. You'll see how he's consumed by the times, how he struggles in the torrent of entropy, and how he maintains a sliver of clarity amidst the darkness of humanity. You'll see him fall in love with the wrong person, lose his most trusted companion, and ultimately, at the end of the world, hold a jade disc, gazing back at the first snow of Chang'an. If you're tired of mindless plot twists and clichéd storylines, and yearn for a truly intelligent, well-structured, and historically profound time-travel story, then *Entropy in the New World* awaits you. Here, there are no cheat codes, only one person fighting against an entire era. Shh, just between you and me: there are also hidden storylines involving a female Mohist craftswoman, a Qiang princess, a Western Region merchant... Every female character is not just a decorative figure, but a living, breathing player on his chessboard. And the real opponent is never Liu Xiu, but history itself. 🤭
