In 1899, in the vast and untamed West, an era full of contradictions and changes, a tale of outlaws, survival, and redemption unfolds. The world around Arthur Morgan was transforming rapidly, a time when the old ways clashed with the new. The dawn of the Gilded Age where the evil of capital is rampant, an era where the culture of the West was approaching its twilight.

It's a tale of an old ship patched together with the core of a new era, struggling to sail the seas of the old. Alas this crumbling old ship will make those onboard face a bitter ending.

But what would happen if Arthur Morgan suddenly changed along the way?

What if he had dreams of another life?

After being dumped by my girlfriend of five years, I was walking down the streets of Tokyo, feeling hopeless. At a corner, a faint cry for help reached my ears. I couldn't help but rush in. There, a beautiful girl who was being coerced was looking at me with pleading eyes. The moment I rushed out, my story with her began. Asuna: "Uncle." Me: "Hmm?" Asuna: "We agreed. After I graduate... now, you're not allowed to date other girls, or I'll kill you." Me: "...Hmm."

The story takes place in the fictional Chinese kingdom of Caiyun. According to legend, a young man, aided by the power of the Eight Immortals, founded Caiyun. Consequently, Caiyun's territory was divided into eight provinces: Hongzhou, Huangzhou, Bizhou, Lanzhou, Zizhou, Heizhou, Baizhou, and Chazhou. Approximately 600 years ago, the king of the time ordered the nobles of each province to adopt one of these eight colors as their surnames (for example, the Marquis of Lanzhou became Lan, the Marquis of Hongzhou became Hong, and so on). Commoners were prohibited from sharing surnames with these eight marquises. Consequently, those bearing these eight colors were considered the most aristocratic of the nobles. Furthermore, because the Marquis of Zizhou, where the capital was located, also served as king, the Zi family became the royal family's surname. Despite being born into the prestigious Hong family, Hong Xiuli lived in poverty. She had to work extensively to support her family. Having experienced the turmoil of the throne struggle as a child, she deeply understood the suffering of the people. From a young age, she diligently studied, hoping to pass the imperial examination, become an official, assist the king, and build a prosperous and peaceful nation. However, as a woman, she cannot take the imperial examination. One day, Xiu Li accepts a high-paying commission from Grand Tutor Xiao and enters the harem as a noble concubine to teach and assist the incompetent emperor. This opportunity leads Xiu Li to a career as an official, and she encounters a variety of people.

Reborn into a multiverse of anime and manga, Tanaka Yukikoko possesses the dual advantages of being reborn and having a cheat-like ability. She chooses a path different from the masses, but as a brute force, she lacks the strength to achieve it. She decides to develop steadily and train diligently for many years. A highly advanced high school sends her an application, which she refuses despite her parents' advice. She gives up and is admitted through a shady scheme. She decides to show this crappy school the capriciousness of the strong. Sakayanagi Arisu: Arisu was born weak and raised in a garden. She first met Ayanokouji as a child and was deeply impressed. She was always captivated by the word "genius." Later, she was fortunate to meet Tanaka-sensei and discovered the wonder of the world. "I've heard that the best reward for a teacher is to surpass them." Of course, Arisu wouldn't be so arrogant as to defeat her teacher single-handedly. So, don't blame me. Blame it on your strength, teacher. Tanaka Yukikokoko: Arisu, do as you please. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka: Defeating you will grant me freedom. Tanaka Yukikokoko: Ayanokouji, are you a cold-blooded monster or a gullible imposter? I eagerly await Toyokawa Kiyokazu's reply: When it comes to living off a woman, I'd call you the strongest. But what level of skill does it truly take to live off a woman so readily? Tanaka Yukiko: I've heard you love your daughter very much. Since you've offended me and are unwilling to pay the price, then let your daughter pay the price.

Coming back to her life again, back to the day when her half-sister was married to her in exchange, Shen Tangning sneered and decided to go with the flow and marry the uneducated, dissolute and prodigal son of the second house.

On the wedding night, the playboy lifted her veil and was so frightened that she stumbled and fell to her knees.

Shen Tangning's tears rolled down her cheeks, her eyes reddened: "I should have been the Crown Prince's wife. If I marry you, my life will be over!"

Chi Yan's heart suddenly trembled and he was at a loss.

…

From then on.

He fights cocks and runs dogs, and his wife's eyes are filled with tears.

He spent money like water and his wife cried bitterly.

Upon learning that he had recognized the wrong savior, Chi Jingyu regretted it deeply. Fortunately, he has a chance to make amends in this life again!

Shen Tangning: I’m very busy, don’t get involved.

The flourishing Tang Dynasty was in full bloom, and a shocking fission was imminent.

In the fifth year of Tianbao, he opened his eyes and saw the prosperous and majestic spirit of “the glorious Tang Dynasty, the blessing of heaven to all nations”, with famous generals like clouds, vast territory; capable ministers like rain, abundant granaries; brilliant poetry, dazzling literature; beautiful women, singing and dancing.

He also saw that the whole court was infatuated, arrogant and extravagant, fighting for power; the country was in turmoil, and there were many problems; the Hu people rebelled, and people were like grass.

The drums of Yuyang shook the earth, and he wanted to make this Tang Dynasty not lose its splendor.

The Five Barbarians invaded China, the Central Plains sank, there was a great famine, and people ate each other.

Famines and wars occurred frequently, and the people struggled to survive. Those who managed to survive became like two-legged sheep again. This kind of life lasted for more than three hundred years before China was unified again.

At this time, he traveled to the middle period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. According to the historical trajectory, China would continue to decline for another 200 years. In this case, why not give it a try and end the chaos?

"I'm willing to pay any price for this, including myself."

"Well, fathers-in-law, please make your bids. My daughter will bring the dowry, and all I can do in return is write your names in the Taimiao."
