She transmigrates to the Middle Ages and becomes a young lady lord in Ireland.
As a liberal arts graduate, she has neither steam engines nor flintlock rifles.
As a childless noblewoman, she has no clan to support her, no heirs to secure her succession, and no one to protect her lands.
All around her are nobles eyeing her hungrily, eager to seize vast tracts of land and win the beautiful lady's hand at the same time.
All she has are her memories of history, her grasp of humanist thought, and beauty enough to topple kingdoms.
...The Era
This is an age of upheaval: the Spanish Reconquista, the Norman conquest of England, Viking exploration of the Americas, German expansion eastward, the unification of the Rus people, the Turks' migration west, the Tatar yoke, the Arab Empire's conquests, the founding of the Roman Empire, the unification of North Africa, the rise of Songhai...
...Fate
Western Europe is uniting in the face of the Arab Empire's threat. The bourgeoisie are rising on the gold flowing through wartime trade.
The nomads of the north are migrating west and south as the climate grows ever colder.
Far away in the East, an unprecedented commercial revolution is gathering strength.
Blood, glory, faith, and dinars: the final splendor of the Middle Ages.
And all of it will be led by you, High King of Ireland.

I feel that there is an unavoidable core issue in this type of historical novel.
A central, unavoidable issue in these historical novels is the protagonist's actions, especially those measures that drive social development and progress. Is the core purpose of these measures truly for the benefit of the majority of the people of the era? Or is it driven by a desire to satisfy a grand narrative of progress? Or perhaps it's for better governance? To satisfy a powerful, insidious desire for dominance? To amass more wealth, prestige, and power for the protagonist? The author must clearly define this question; otherwise, if logically deduced, the protagonist's continued reforms...
I owe 16+2+1 chapters, and I will make up for the remaining 16 days with three chapters each. We can't afford to slack off anymore.
Happy New Year, comrades!
Happy New Year to all my comrades!
Even the Munster village girls want to seize Roman legal authority? Leaving aside whether the Middle Ages had such efficient communication and transportation systems to effectively control such a vast territory, these Briton barbarians also lack a tradition of empirical scientific rigor. Claiming Roman legal authority and calling themselves Roman shouldn't pollute Rome's positive cultural heritage. A unified Britain would be more feasible in the 1066 scenario; a Roman empress is too much of an exaggeration.
Let's create a group after the exam and share the extra version of the King of Ireland vs. The King of France story.
I have something to do today, so I'll take the day off. I'll make up for the update tomorrow.
Your infamy extends from Ireland to the Khitan…
The invincible knight who stepped on the protagonist's stomach got absolutely no harm done.
