He's already so fat, and they still want him to serve the emperor?
Oh shit.

Lin Yi, whose love for astronomy is etched into his soul, is born into the HP world with all the knowledge from his previous life and a super brain that can "remember everything he sees".
He thought he could easily become an academic star in the magical world, but he discovered that wizards' understanding of the brilliant starry sky above them was still stuck in the primitive stage of "divination of good and bad fortune".
How can we tolerate this?
With a wave of his wand and a telescope in hand, his goal is to elevate astronomy from a "required, easy subject" to a "cutting-edge magical engineering" capable of changing the magical world!
From drawing precise star maps imbued with magic to developing powerful spells that draw upon the power of the stars;
From analyzing the probability theory behind divination to creating astrological artifacts based on constellations...
While Voldemort and his followers were still obsessed with pure-blooded people on Earth, a scholar under the stars was quietly turning the entire universe into his magical laboratory.
This is the story of a hardcore academic genius who, in a magical world, uses scientific thinking to climb the magical technology tree, and incidentally crushes everyone else in the process.
Demons peek through the window at night, while the Taoist priest sleeps before the temple.
...
That day, the sun set and never rose again.
Huh? I've time-traveled? Luckily, it's a game I'm familiar with. Wait, something feels off about the timeline. Where am I?! More than 2600 years before the story began?! Are you kidding me?!
...
Is the future really what I envisioned? Why did everything turn out this way? Time may erode everything, but I haven't forgotten where I came from... Hello, little one, nice to meet you...
The plot has a few angst elements, the main characters gradually grow stronger, there's a single romantic pairing, but the pairing dies. The writing is rather poor. If you don't like it, please exit by clicking the top left corner. Thank you, and I apologize for the unpleasant experience!
It probably ends after the main storyline reaches Sumeru.

Being transported to Beika Town, a city with a crime rate far exceeding Gotham's, is a rather unfortunate situation. But who says Beika Town is necessarily hell? Here, thirty years equals three months, granting you immortality. Here, the Suzuki Group is an absolute beacon of financial investment. More importantly… criminals here won't recant their confessions unless their lawyer is Eri Kisaki. Criminals here will accept circumstantial evidence unless their lawyer is Eri Kisaki. Criminals here are flamboyant and masters of intrigue, scattering clues everywhere while claiming to commit the perfect crime. Prosecutors here, even if the police arrest the wrong person and lose the trial, will only blame their own incompetence. Police here have substitutes for their jobs, guaranteed marriages, and even fatal injuries are protected by the Grim Reaper, so there's no worry about their downfall. "Putting aside the drawback of being stuck in the timeline and unable to climb the ranks, this is heaven." The Metropolitan Police Department's Investigative Division…

Dugu Yan said, "I want to have a baby for my husband." Hu Liena said, "I want to be with Brother Lingxi." Qian Renxue said, "I want to snatch my mother back from that fox spirit upstairs." Zhu Zhuqing said, "I just want to become stronger and then survive." A pale pink rabbit raised its paw and said, "My wish is to make them all forget the taste of braised rabbit." After saying this, it quickly hid, as if afraid of being discovered. Tang San chuckled, "You all have ways to die." Yu Xiaogang said, "I..."
[A sweet and delicate girl versus a calm and composed powerful minister]
(Both are virgins, childhood sweethearts, and their long-standing unrequited love has finally come true)
Shen Mingshu was pampered by Jiang Xun as she grew up, but because of his strictness and coldness, she always feared him as if he were her own life.
After being drugged, she was taken away by her childhood sweetheart, a young general. When they were caught in the act, she had no choice but to marry him.
Little did the young general know that he had someone else in his heart, and on his wedding day, he took a concubine into the household.
The young general doted on his concubine, yet he spoke coldly and indifferently to her.
They went to burn incense and pray to Buddha in the outskirts of Beijing, but unexpectedly, bandits attacked. The young general hurriedly fled with his concubine, leaving her with the bandits...
To save herself, Shen Mingshu committed suicide by walking into a knife.
After death, she became a ghost and witnessed Jiang Xun avenge her and die for her...
——
When she opened her eyes, she was back to the night Shen Mingshu was drugged.
Despite the burning sensation and discomfort, she cried as she went to find Jiang Xun and threw herself into his arms.
"Brother..."
Her voice trembled, choked with sobs.
Shen Mingshu cried bitterly, her heart filled with the grievances she had suffered and the guilt and heartache she felt towards Jiang Xun.
I never expected it, in a place she couldn't see.
The usually composed and restrained minister's ears subtly flushed red...
——
Later, Shen Mingshu was pinned against the wall by Jiang Xun, with the cold wall behind her and his burning breath in front of her.
Her breathing was erratic, her eyes were red, and her fingers were trembling slightly.
Only at this moment did she truly understand—
She messed with someone she shouldn't have!
Jiang Xun... is not at all what he seems!

[1970s+ Female supporting character awakens + face-slapping and scum-abusing + System + Military marriage]
Su Zhaoyuan was born bright and beautiful and was pampered, but she was a love-struck supporting female character controlled by the plot in a period novel.
The female lead is her cousin Su Routang, and the male lead is her fiancé Gu Lisong.
The Su Zhaoyuan family are all stepping stones for the male and female protagonists.
Her cousin needed a job, so she listened to her fiancé, gave her the job she had just passed the exam for to her cousin, and signed up to be a sent-down youth in the countryside herself.
After being sent to the countryside, his reputation was ruined by hooligans, and he was jilted at the altar.
As a result, her cousin turned around and got together with Gu Lisong.
Su Zhaoyuan insisted on returning to the city, and her family was extremely worried about her, spending money and money to pull strings, only to be completely swindled out of everything.
Later, Su Zhaoyuan was admitted to university. On the train back to the city with her admission notice, she was trafficked to a mountainous area and was not rescued until seven years later.
After being rescued, Su Zhaoyuan returned to the city and discovered that her cousin had taken her place at university. Her parents, second brother, and younger brother had all passed away, leaving her feeling utterly miserable.
The jade bracelet her mother left her was also taken away, becoming her first pot of gold.
Su Zhaoyuan awakens to self-awareness and resents that the glory of the male and female protagonists is to be paid for with the bones of her entire family. Therefore, she perishes together with the male and female protagonists.
Then, she was reborn, and she came with a system.
This time, Su Zhaoyuan has her eye on Gu Jinye, the male lead's half-brother.
In her previous life, Gu Jinye was a police officer who was wounded and retired from the army. He was the one who saved her from leaving the mountains.
It's a pity he died young in the line of duty, leaving behind connections and resources that all benefited Gu Lisong, who was just a tool for the male supporting character.
Su Zhaoyuan thought that rather than letting the male and female leads benefit, she might as well benefit.
