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.
When orcish hooves shattered the southern plains, and infighting among nobles eroded the kingdom's foundations, Ryan Green, from another world, inherited the remote Eaglebeak Valley. Here, there was no fertile land, no loyal army, only a group of serfs struggling to survive and crumbling city walls.
In chaotic times, survival is the only rule. Ryan knew that relying solely on cold weapons and feudal constraints would ultimately reduce him to food for orcs or a pawn in the power struggles of nobles. He took up two "weapons": steam and gunpowder.
He used steam engines to drive forging hammers, stamping out indestructible iron armor; he used sulfur and saltpeter to develop cannons that shook the battlefield. He broke the aristocracy's monopoly on knowledge, teaching soldiers to read and navigate, and had serfs cultivate land and train soldiers, building an iron defense line in barren valleys.
Faced with the savage charges of the orcish legions, he constructed death traps with giant ballistae and gunpowder mines; dealing with the nobility's attempts to win him over and their schemes, he accumulated wealth by exporting iron armor, demonstrating the confidence of "neutrality" through his strength. From being forced to defend to actively expanding, from an unknown lord to Earl Green, he proceeded step by step, transforming a remote valley into the only safe haven in a chaotic world.
As the northern nobles' rebellion tore the kingdom apart, and as the eastern orcs brewed an even greater storm, Ryan stood before the steam-powered workshop, gazing at the armored army arrayed in formation, his eyes gleaming with ambition: "Chaos is not the end, but an opportunity to reshape order. This southern land will ultimately be dominated by steel and steam."
This is a story about using technology to break the shackles of feudalism and using strength to rise in a chaotic world.

Zhang Yunxiu was in a hurry to travel back in time to become Zhang Juzheng's youngest son.

However, four hundred years later, when people opened the historical records, they were surprised to find that history had inexplicably taken a different turn in the ninth year of the Wanli reign.
In that year, the first comprehensive newspaper in the Ming Dynasty, the Wanli Xinbao, was launched, deconstructing Yangming's philosophy of mind and setting off a groundbreaking intellectual revolution.
In that year, modern medical theory was proposed for the first time, and the plague problem that had plagued people for thousands of years was contained for the first time.
That year, the gentry experienced for the first time what the iron fist of macroeconomics truly meant.
From this year onward, the already precarious Wanli New Deal unexpectedly triggered a major upheaval unprecedented in a century! Inventions and discoveries of all kinds, such as the steam engine, sweet potato, and flintlock musket, emerged one after another!
From that year onward, the headstrong Wanli Emperor became obsessed with artistic creation, and Zhang Juzheng, who had been struggling to support the crumbling Ming Dynasty, suddenly realized that his support had become somewhat weak.
Once regarded as a rebellious and absurd son, he actually managed to hold up half of the Ming Dynasty!
