You! That's right, it's you. Look at yourself, what can you do? What are you capable of doing? If you were thrown into 1629 AD, the second year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign in the Ming Dynasty, the era of Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji, could you survive? Without any cheat codes or protagonist's destiny, relying solely on your own expertise and knowledge, can you survive?

Having come to this era, I want to get drunk in Shaoxing with Qing Teng, to look through the lost Yongle Encyclopedia, to meet Qi Yuanjing who never lost a battle in his life, and even to find out who Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng really is. But Qian Yuan discovered that even just surviving was not easy. During the turbulent and bizarre Jiajing era, as one after another great figure emerged—some remembered in history, some infamous, and some of unwavering integrity—Qian Yuan discovered that this period of history carried a completely different face from how later generations viewed it.

6 临 The Dawn of Lingao 临高启明 The Boaster吹牛者Historical9.4M WordsOngoing They transmigrate to an age of chaos by choice, not because they were struck by lightning. Some want to become kings and conquer the land. Some want to rescue the people from their misery. Others want to use their own strength to stop the final conquest of civilization by barbarism, and thereby rewrite the history of the Chinese people. Of course, some only want to enjoy the extremely decadent life they can’t have in the present day, with three wives and four concubines. This group of ordinary p 120Votes2.5MRecs552.7kFans

Curator note

They weren't struck by lightning when they were transported to a chaotic world; it was their own choice. Some wanted to become kings and dominate, some wanted to relieve the people from their suffering, and some wanted to use their own strength to prevent the last barbaric conquest of civilization, thereby rewriting the history of the Chinese nation. Of course, some people only dream of having multiple wives and concubines, living an extremely decadent life that is unattainable in the modern world. This group of ordinary people, each with their own ambitions and aspirations, lacked the physical prowess of tigers, the aura of kings, and any magical advantages. They were crammed haphazardly onto an old ship, possessing only modern machines, technology, and various theories. These time travelers, harboring ambitions, dreams, and ideals unattainable in the modern world, set off towards the chaotic end of the Ming Dynasty. Destination: Hainan.
