Shen Zhezi arrives in the early Eastern Jin Dynasty, transforming into the son of a wealthy family in Jiangnan. He owns thousands of acres of fertile land, immense wealth, and a large retinue of servants—a rare high-end transmigration story. Unfortunately, his father is a habitual rebel. The southward migration of the elite and the chaos of the Five Barbarian Tribes marked a tragic end for China and a lament for the Han dynasty. The powerful and influential families are unreliable; the north is wicked and the south is corrupt—two nests of bad seeds, only seeking to live a life of ease. This fertile land of China, the homeland of the Han people, will not be allowed to be used by barbarians! I will dedicate my entire life to building a righteous Northern Expeditionary Army to kill the barbarians, restore the Central Plains, and revive the Han dynasty! Book group: 608646355

A 21st-century engineering student travels back in time to become a poor scholar. His brain is like a library, filled with all sorts of knowledge! Even if he doesn't become a high-ranking official, he should at least be a big shot for fun in this lifetime, right?

Curator note

[My new book, "Back to Ancient Times to Become a Master Craftsman," has been signed and uploaded.] Time travel transports him back to the late Han Dynasty, where he wakes up as the emperor. This is certainly possible, but the emperor's situation seems quite different from what was expected. Externally, warlords are carving up their territories, the country is fragmented, and internally, rebellious ministers threaten him, leaving him deprived of his freedom. Liu Xie feels immense pressure. To change his tragic fate and to enjoy the privileges of an emperor, Liu Xie decides he must fight back. Famous ministers and fierce generals are a must, and a harem… well, that's possible too. In short, this is the story of a puppet emperor's gradual rise to power.

One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for hardcore fans of fantasy novels and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). The group members all addressed each other as "fellow Daoists," and their nicknames were filled with various titles like "Lord of a Palace," "Master of a Cave," "True Person," and "Celestial Master." Even the group owner's lost pet dog was referred to as a "Great Demon Dog Who Ran Away from Home." They spent all their time discussing alchemy, exploring secret realms, and cultivation techniques. One day, after lurking for a long time, he suddenly discovered that... Every single member of the group was actually a cultivator, the kind who could move mountains and overturn seas and live for thousands of years! Ugh, my worldview has completely shattered overnight!
