I Offered Myself Up and Helped China Soar

After completing missions in a hundred small worlds, Li Shu had amassed seventy million points. Delighted, she headed home, ready to exchange them for a fortune and lie flat in comfort. But when she got back, she discovered that the West had joined forces with an advanced interstellar civilization to seal off her motherland behind a high-energy barrier. If the blockade lasted fifty years, Huaguo would enter a period of severe decline. Li Shu: How could she put up with that? Without hesitation, Li Shu turned herself over to the state. Then she opened five time-space gateways, leading to the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties. If the modern era was being sanctioned, then they would go back in time! Find allies among their ancestors! Join forces to conquer the world and seize its resources! China’s Cross-Time Collaborative Development, the Yanhuang Project, was officially launched. * Modern technology and weapons, all delivered to Qin Shi Huang. We’ll make sure your unified empire is rock solid! And here’s a map of the world, take a look. After learning about the future, Ying Zheng asked, “What do we need? Gold mines, silver mines, copper and iron? We’ll go take them all!” Chancellor Zhuge, don’t work yourself too hard. How about checking out AI robots? What’s the point of living longer than Sima Yi if you can’t hit harder? After learning the whole plan, Zhuge Liang transformed into the ancient-era chief coordinator of the Collaborative Development Project. Li Shimin, the Heavenly Khan? Your horizons are still too narrow. We’ll arrange a visit to the modern world. Your true calling is to become the governor of Earth. With access to modern information, Li Shimin declared, “It’s all ours! Every bit of it! I’ll conquer the world and build granaries for you all.” What? Yue Fei has been imprisoned? A drone swooped in to rescue him, and a missile was aimed at the palace gates. “Are you for war or peace? Your Majesty, think carefully before you speak.” Yue Fei: Build a mighty Song dynasty! Build the strongest cross-time coalition army! A tri-service aircraft carrier descended in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Emperor Chongzhen silently tossed aside the white silk cord. An impossible-level dungeon? Don’t panic. Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Taizong will teach you, and you’ll get modern approaches to governance for free. The Emperor Chongzhen of this new timeline: The Ming dynasty can serve as the treasury for whatever crises the future may face. * People from all six timelines: La la la, let’s get this cross-time travel group going! Reader’s notes: 1. The protagonist goes to the late Ming dynasty, and the main point of view is from the Ming. The other dynasties also get plenty of page time, with an ensemble cast. 2. This is pure wish-fulfillment fun. The author has their own agenda, so please go easy on historical accuracy purists. 3. The modern setting is an alternate 2046. All six timelines can travel between one another, but most of the story takes place in ancient times. 4. The transmigration begins in Chapter 7. If you don’t want to read about the modern setting, skip straight to Chapter 7. Theme: Cultural confidence begins with establishing a China-centered narrative.
