After I Snatched the Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic One Home [Worldbuilding]

In an age of chaos, warlords divide the land and heroes contend for supremacy.

Yan Xinglan transmigrates into the only son of a bandit chieftain. Before his father dies, he leaves him a mountain full of bandits. Looking at all these old, weak, hungry, and poorly clothed people, Yan Xinglan has no choice but to step up and rally them to farm and defend their home in this turbulent age.

Fortunately, he has a black technology System. With good seeds and new techniques, he carves out an unusual path to power amid the chaos.

The only thing giving Yan Xinglan a headache is what to do with the rich young master they kidnapped.

[The top's perspective]

As the ruthless power behind the throne, Tan Tai Ji is best known for his dazzling beauty, unmatched in its brilliance.

Everyone says he's ruthlessly ambitious and vicious, and that he doesn't even spare his own siblings.

Reborn back to the moment he was first dragged into the bandits' den, he is ready to kill them all and escape. But the short-lived young bandit chief says he'll let him go and even gives him travel money?

Interesting. Perhaps there's no rush to leave.

He discovers that this short-lived young bandit chief is leading a group of old, weak, and helpless people to make a home amid the chaos. The man is upright and methodical, and treats him with care and respect.

How could someone who has fallen into the darkness of the abyss let go after experiencing sunlight and warmth?

Watching the young bandit chief who keeps trying to send him away, Tan Tai Ji strokes his wrist with casual ease. “You kidnapped me. And now you think you can run?”

Looking at that dazzling face, Yan Xinglan stammers in protest. “N-no, I, I just want to marry a wife...”

※※ Next novel: Everyone Thinks I'm Qin Shi Huang's Secret Child

Li Jiuzhao transmigrates into the Qin dynasty as a commoner. She immediately invests all her savings in a business, buys a minor official post, and uses a small invention to bribe her superior and become county magistrate.

Whether it's the Qin dynasty, the future Chu-Han contention, or the Han dynasty, even a lowly county magistrate can live to a ripe old age as long as they pick the right side.

But Li Jiuzhao can't understand why the envoys from Xianyang lavish praise on her very ordinary record in office, then promote her to commandery governor before long.

It isn't until she is transferred to Xianyang and sees the strikingly similar face of Qin Shi Huang above her that Jiuzhao falls silent. Is he really not going to let me enjoy a peaceful retirement?

Knowing she is destined to be tied to the Qin dynasty, she can only strive to change its future.

Qin Shi Huang has long refused to choose an heir because he is dissatisfied with all his sons. Then he finds a child who has been living outside the palace, and the child proves quite capable.

“My child shall be the gateway to the Qin Empire. I appoint you crown prince.”

Li Jiuzhao: I'm a woman.

Being a commoner is already hard enough. A woman alone out in the world has it even worse, so she has to disguise herself as a man!

Qin Shi Huang: Then I appoint you crown princess.

☆☆☆ Upcoming: Sky Screen: I'm a Tyrant in a World of Love-Obsessed Fools

Qin Yunzhou transmigrates, and when he realizes he's landed in a short-drama world, he finds himself surrounded by love-obsessed fools.

Unwilling to let these fools wreck the people of Great Sheng, he prepares to shoulder the burden of the empire and roll up his sleeves for a major undertaking.

Suddenly, the sky screen appears.

Qin Yunzhou: I get to win without lifting a finger?

[The Sheng dynasty was an era of chaos, full of demons and monsters. If the illustrious and mighty Emperor Shengde Shenwu hadn't made his brilliant entrance, Sheng would have followed in the footsteps of dynasties that perished after only two generations.]

[The great Emperor Shenwu descended from the heavens, a living bodhisattva who rescues the suffering. Before Emperor Shengde Shenwu took power, the royal family and officials of Sheng were consumed by romance, acting like complete idiots.]

Royal family and officials: Who? Who are you calling an idiot?

[According to Emperor Shengde Shenwu's memoirs, the crown prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince spent their days acting out scenes with Liu Ruyan, the Minister's daughter: “Do you love me? Who do you love?” Because of this, they neglected relief efforts during the Yellow River floods.]

[The second prince wiped out his consort's family for the sake of his mistress, creating a notorious miscarriage of justice in the Sheng dynasty.]

[The Chancellor's wife turned her real daughter into a human swine for the sake of a fake daughter, shocking the whole country. A newly appointed top scholar's country wife accused a princess of stealing her husband.]

Everyone: Wait, why does this memoir exist? Our shame has been recorded for posterity!

[After Emperor Shengde Shenwu ascended the throne, the people could afford meat for all three meals a day, poor students could attend school for free, and farmers no longer had to pay agricultural taxes...]

[Gold and silver from overseas flowed into Great Sheng without end. Through colonial expansion, it became an empire on which the sun never sets. Attached: map of Great Sheng.jpg]

The scenes shown on the sky screen were intoxicating: plump ears of wheat bent the stalks, enormous 300-jin pigs stood by the rice paddies, a smooth cement road wound toward the academy, and students studied diligently.

The view drifted into the distance. Soldiers marched into battle with rifles and cannons, invincible wherever they went. Ships at sea were loaded with gold and silver...

Everyone: Your Majesty, how about stepping down?
