Crusader Kings: The Road to Becoming Rome’s Basileus

In the twelfth era of the Incarnation of the Dao, the Roman Empire stands at the height of its golden age.

In the west, the emperor's banners fly over the walls of Apulia, while the Hungarians are defeated on the plains along the Danube. In the east, the Persians of Iconium prostrate themselves before the emperor and honor him as their father.

Yet sycophants dominate the court, the treasury is squandered, and the Latins enjoy their privileges... The emperor in purple is lost in dreams of a universal empire, blind to the cracks beneath the city walls.

As magnificent hymns ring out across New Rome, a soul that knows how the story ends is born into the Palaiologos family.

Can he rewrite the fate of this ancient civilization before its grand edifice collapses?

(Reader advisory: This is a serious alternate-history story about changing fate, with a touch of romance and a harem of multiple heroines. The heroine setup is explained by making the protagonist a few years younger than his historical counterpart, which will only be revealed after roughly a hundred chapters. Aside from accounting for the protagonist's age and giving him a tiny golden finger, the story contains no supernatural elements or cheats that affect the plot.)
