For twenty years, Lin Xiu had been a virtually invisible prince, utterly unnoticed in the imperial palace. He only wanted to languish in the cold palace, signing in, slacking off, and living a life of leisure in this high-martial-arts world. Until his sign-in period expired, and the system reward was issued: [Innate Realm - Great Perfection]! At the pinnacle of martial arts, one man could rival an army!
Lin Xiu was overjoyed: Finally, he could relax and rest easy! However, the next second, the late emperor passed away, all the adult princes were dead, and the entire court knelt at the gate, begging him to ascend the throne. Lin Xiu: ...Can I skip this shift?
During the coronation ceremony, the emperor's brother-in-law attempted an assassination attempt in public, trying to install the young emperor. Amidst the panic of the entire court, Lin Xiu, still half-asleep, merely raised his hand. Boom! The emperor's brother-in-law, a peak Qi Control Realm expert, was instantly crippled by an invisible heavenly force!
From then on, the Great Sage Dynasty had one more "unfathomable" emperor. Empty treasury? Lin Xiu: Go, marry the Goddess of Wealth from Jiangnan! I'm living off her because of my own abilities! Unsettled people? Lin Xiu: Go, make that folk healer empress! I will win people over with virtue! Enemy country invading? Lin Xiu rolled over: So noisy! Destroy them!
The courtiers wept bitterly: "Your Majesty is truly a sage ruler for all time, unfathomable!" Lin Xiu: "Stop imagining things, I really just wanted to catch up on some sleep..."
He woke up to find himself transformed into a white dragon, destined to be a beast of burden, carrying Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West to retrieve Buddhist scriptures. While others were bestowed with titles of Buddha or Bodhisattva, he was bound to a decorative pillar, becoming a lavish ornament showcasing the majesty of Buddhism. He had traveled from the new century and could not accept this fate. He burned pearls, destroyed jade tablets, cut off his scales and horns, degraded his bloodline, and struggled to survive against all odds.
Fu Shili transmigrated into the body of a cannon fodder deputy general of the Great Chu Dynasty. With 300,000 troops at the gates of the city, the capital was within his grasp!
As long as they break through, they'll be showered with wealth and honor, and their wives and children will be granted titles and privileges! But the commander-in-chief, Gu Ze, who's known as the "God of War," is a hopelessly infatuated romantic.
Seeing the Empress weeping bitterly on the city wall, Gu Ze's heart broke. "Wan Yin, don't cry! I don't want this empire anymore! Issue my order: the entire army retreats! I want to plead guilty!" Are the lives of hundreds of thousands of brothers less valuable than a woman's single tear?
Awakening from a dream, a mysterious celestial curtain descends upon the eternal space-time!
The book opens with "The First Opium War"!
When Emperor Qianlong witnessed firsthand how the "golden age" he had created was easily torn apart by foreign cannon fire, the grand dream of the Celestial Empire collapsed, and his defenses crumbled on the spot!
When Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Ming saw their descendants ceding territory, paying indemnities, and losing sovereignty and national dignity, they were so angry that they slammed their fists on the table!
"You scoundrels! Is this how you defend China?!"
Looking at the humiliating treaty, Ying Zheng was furious. Pointing to the sky, he angrily denounced, "My empire, how could not a single unworthy descendant of my descendants be able to protect it!"
And this is just the beginning...
