    The most powerful person in history is not Emperor Qin and Han Wu, not Emperor Tang Zong and Song Zu, not Genghis Khan Temujin, not Alexander the Great, nor Queen Victoria who created the British Empire on which the sun never sets. Instead, he led his eldest son to conquer the west from the Mongolian grassland to the city of Vienna and established the capital of Sayin Khan of the Golden Horde. The young Batu accompanied his father Jochi on various expeditions in the east and west, and made outstanding achievements, which made Jochi the successor of the Great Khan of Mongolia. However, due to doubts about Jochi's origin, he was always excluded from the line of succession of the Great Khan. Rumors and rumors followed him closely, and he finally died in depression. Batu inherited Jochi's fief, and with his extraordinary talent, he became the commander-in-chief of his eldest son's Western Expedition, leading 150,000 cavalry from the Mongolian grasslands to the city of Vienna. He annihilated the principalities of Russia, captured Hungary, attacked Poland, pushed Moscow to the ground, drank the Danube River, defeated 400,000 European coalition troops with 40,000 cavalry, and destroyed more than 20 countries in seven years. After the death of Ogedai Khan, the kings who conquered the West returned eastward to compete for the throne of Khan. Batu used the remaining power of the Western Expedition to defend the Kipchak grassland and established the vast Golden Horde. He was called Sayin Khan by Europeans and respected as "Batu Tsar" by the Russians at the time. Afterwards, Batu and Mongol Khan Guiyou were at war with each other. When the situation was critical, Guiyou died violently. Batu used thunderous means to support Meng Ge as the Khan and became the talker of the Mongol Empire. Coupled with his status as the powerful Great Khan of the Golden Horde, his power was unparalleled in ancient times and today, making him the most dazzling person at the pinnacle of power in the thirteenth century.

    A novel about two female protagonists traveling through the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a story about spy warfare and conspiracy. It has already written 1.5 Million words and has the most complex time-traveling system currently. The first girl was originally thought to be a princess of the same name from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but it turned out that the original owner was her sister. After her death, her sister summoned the soul of her sister (the first girl) who accidentally took the pill when she was born and came to the future. The soul of the sister (the first girl) who had just sacrificed traveled into his body to prevent her mother and the newly married consort from being too sad. At the same time, she realized the mother's wish to find her little daughter (the first girl). Now the sisters are united. The female second company traveled together with her physical body. The reason for the time travel was that she took the wrong medicine during the melee and took the time travel capsule as a body time travel capsule. As a result, there was no acceleration during the action, but she accidentally traveled through time. One soul wears it, the other wears it, an ancient elixir, and a modern capsule. The girl traveled from ancient times with a human body from a baby to the modern age and grew up. Later, after her death in the modern age, she was arranged by her sister's soul to wear her sister's body and return home.
