Murad admitted that when he learned he had been transported to the Ottoman Empire in 1861 and was given the high-risk job of Crown Prince, he just wanted to escape the Ottoman Empire as soon as possible.

But as the titles bestowed upon him multiplied: Governor of Eastern Rumelia, Protector of the Circassians, Master of the Balkans, The Only Sun of Anatolia...

Murad turned his gaze toward the throne of the Sultan of the Empire.

When Pavel Korchagin, the author of "How the Steel Was Tempered," opened his eyes again from his paralyzed sickbed, a steel soul carrying complete memories of the future returned!

He is no longer the tragic hero who was physically disabled but determined and lived a life of regret.

Faced with the bureaucrats' disdain, he astonished everyone with his foresight and insight.

Faced with obstruction from conservatives, he launched a "Five-Year Plan" to outline the blueprint for industrial development.

Farming + No System + Conquest + Time Travel + Single Female Lead + Sweeping Through England, France, and Germany

In 1288, Lin Lan transmigrated into the body of a bankrupt Scottish nobleman, facing famine, war, and despair.

He only wanted to farm and live a simple life, but the tide of history pushed him onto the stage. From a minor lord to a baron, from a baron to an earl, from an earl to Warden of the North, to Lord Protector, and then to King of Scotland, he swept through England and France, conquered both Romes, and became the Emperor of Europe.

1. When Lin Yan, a science and engineering student, opened his eyes, he found himself as Chamberlain at 10 Downing Street in 1939—a declaration of war against Germany lay on the table, and outside the window, the countdown to the collapse of British hegemony was underway. But clutching his Zippo (his only token of the future), he was determined to overturn the script and personally rebuild British glory at 10 Downing Street.

In 1807, Jérôme, with the support of his brother Napoleon, became King of Westphalia. In 1808, the King displayed his military talent in Spain. In 1809, His Majesty the King captured Vienna, and the Austrian Empire groveled at his feet. … A decade later, the German people cheered loudly to welcome their Emperor.

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.

In the turbulent times of roaring steam engines, he grasped the magic of bonds with his left hand and manipulated the struggle for supremacy among the great powers with his right hand:

Chen Cheng traveled back to the Qajar dynasty in the 19th century and became the governor of Azerbaijan, Nasser al-Din. At this time, Persia was trapped both internally and externally, and had fallen into the same fate as the Ottoman Empire.
