As the Hun's horses' hooves shattered the ice of the Rhine, the 16-year-old Roman farmer Marcus knew only two things: run, and revenge.

On the day his village burned to the ground, his parents' blood soaked his sandals, his sister's cries were swallowed by the barbarians' wild laughter. From a slave in the army to a blood-soaked centurion, he grasped the old centurion's sword and tore his way through the corrupt legions: officers fed the barbarians with rations, the emperor watched the flames of Rome drunkenly, and even the swords of Gothic mercenaries were sharper than Roman standards.

When the Vandals sacked the Eternal City, he dragged his dying sister out of the pile of corpses, but his only response was "Don't let Rome rot completely."

In 476, the last Western Roman emperor stepped down from the throne. Marcus stood among the broken pillars, the rust on his sword redder than the setting sun. The empire was dead, but the smoke from cooking stoves crushed by iron hooves, the sighs of dying veterans, the faded word "Rome" on the pages of books—he wanted to let them breathe a little longer in the setting sun.

This is not an epic about saving the world, but a story about a small person who uses his life to protect a spark of light in an era of collapse.

Lin Xiaodong, a water conservancy project manager in his previous life, traveled back in time to 1985 and became a technician at the Jianghe Engineering Bureau. After a "classic start" in the 1980s, he was assigned to the Bailongtan Water Conservancy Project. Since then, Bailongtan, Gezhouba Dam, the Three Gorges Dam, and the Yarlung Zangbo River have all been marked by his sweat and wisdom.

By chance, he traveled back to the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, relying on the advantage of being a time traveler, he could easily marry the eldest princess Li Lizhi, and even become a high-ranking official, becoming a model of time travel. However, reality gave Ling Tian a hard slap in the face. His business was snatched away by aristocratic families, and his imperial examination results were replaced by others.

Just when Ling Tian was thinking about whether he should learn from Huang Chao, the golden finger finally arrived.

On this day, Ling Tian pulled over a close friend he had met in the pleasure boat and said, "Old Tang, are you interested in joining me in a rebellion and overthrowing that bastard Li Er?"

[Invincible + Villain + Special Curse Spirit Cook + No System + Slow to Warm Up] My name is Hannibal, usually everyone calls me Uncle Hannibal. During the day I am an ordinary uncle next door, but at night I am an elegant gourmet. My favorite thing is to find the right ingredients. Gojo Satoru: I used to think he was just a normal person, until he pinched my neck and punched through a mountain. Sukuna: I'm sorry, I couldn't satisfy you. You know more about curses than me. Fushiguro Shiji: What Tianyu Tyrant? These are nicknames given by acquaintances. You can just call me Xiao Shiji. Geto Suguru: I heard that you don't have any children. I want to take care of you in your old age, godfather. Itadori: Uncle Hannibal, your cooking skills are really great. Excuse me, are these barbecues pork? Hannibal, who was dealing with a real corpse in the kitchen, wiped the blood off his hands, gently raised his glasses, and said gently: "Eat more if you like. This is the ingredient I found with great difficulty."

While European merchant ships were still searching for new trade routes across the world's oceans in the 17th century, in the distant region of Australia, the sound of roaring industrial machines could be heard.

Truckloads of coal are being shipped to factories, and countless industrial products are flowing to overseas markets.

When we come to trade with you with our goods, please do not let the cloth drop from our hands and hold the muskets behind our backs.

When the line infantry marched toward the earth in neat steps, when the cold cannons fired scorching shells.

Jiang Zirui stood at the harbor, watching the ironclad ships and merchant ships raise their red dragon flags, and pointed his finger into the distance.

"Let's go! Free trade!"

A word of "Fuck"

The noble lady came to break off the engagement, hoping to stomp on my Li family's face? I retaliated with a letter of accusation, forcing her entire family to kneel and beg for marriage! The icy female general set three rules, treating me like nothing? Three sentences from me sent her admiration skyrocketing, and she imagined my deeper meaning!

They thought I was a weakling who could be manipulated at will, but they didn't know that when I grew up and came out of the mountains.

Who wants to talk to you about political schemes? Just wait and see how skillful my fists and feet are!

The table is flipped!

In the cold winter of 1854, the small workshop in Genoa was on the verge of bankruptcy.

A mechanical engineer disguised himself as a fatherless military cadet, faced with a mountain of burlap, predatory loan sharks, and a mother with swollen eyes.

He grabbed a piece of war news from The Times and gambled his family's lives:

"I'll make the Brits' winter clothes!"

In her previous life, Ruan Xinchen was forced by her stepmother to marry into Prince Zhan's mansion in her sister's place to bring her good fortune. She assumed her marriage would condemn her to widowhood, but Prince Zhan, who had been in a coma for seven days, revived and doted on her, leading to a harmonious marriage. Meanwhile, Ruan Yihe, the eldest daughter of the Ruan family, who was supposed to bring her good fortune, married Prince Gong. But who could have imagined that this noble and handsome prince was actually a lunatic. Less than three years after their marriage, he lost his temper and accidentally pushed her into a lotus pond, drowning her.

Ruan Yihe burst into tears of joy, choking back, "Father, Mother, Prince Zhan is a hero of the Great Chu State. I am willing to marry him." Ruan Xinchen, her younger sister, was overjoyed. "Great! My vicious stepmother is marrying a scumbag!" "Wait, the prince she's marrying is actually a lunatic?" The Empress Dowager spent her days plotting how to destroy their entire family. The prince said: "Madam, don't panic. The old woman is dead. Your husband has gone crazy and ascended the throne."
