The late Eastern Han Dynasty in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was magnificent and full of ups and downs.

There were brave generals, wise counselors, cunning heroes, benevolent and wise rulers, and enchanting beauties, which were fascinating.

But the late Eastern Han Dynasty in Guo Peng's eyes was cold

, not gentle at all, not correct, and not civilized, with murderous intentions everywhere.

He saw hunger, poverty, war, and plague.

He saw bones exposed in the wild, and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles.

He saw the desolate earth and the gray sky.

Only the color of blood was bright.

So, he wanted to become a wolf, a cold-blooded, cunning, despicable, brave, tough, tenacious and never discouraged wolf.

Title: "Global Peacekeeper: Starting From a Bankrupt Security Company"

Protagonist: Chu Zihang

Synopsis:

Reborn into a parallel cinematic world, Chu Zihang begins his empire with a bankrupt security firm—transforming it into the infamous Umbrella Corporation.

From arms dealing to private military supremacy, his empire eclipses nations. Elite mercenary forces—Task Force 141, Wolfpack, Satan Squad, Black Devils—answer only to him.

A corporate sovereign, he pioneers private-sector influence in global governance. No nation dares challenge his rule.

Interviewer: "Sir, do you accept being called the 'King of War' by the world?"

Chu Zihang: "No. I prefer 'Demon.'"

"You accuse me of inciting war? Wrong."

"My survival rule? Never join a war—especially against myself."

"My existence brings nuclear peace. Umbrella is humanity’s true light."

Note:

No heroines—only women.

Any similarities to reality? A flattering coincidence.

Genre: Corporate Warfare / Dark Empire-Building / Political Thriller

It was 1068, Year 1 of the Xining era. Emperor Zhao Xu had recently ascended the throne of the Song dynasty. The widely respected old-guard of civil officials, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, and Fu Bi, were in their twilight years. The unorthodox reformer Wang Anshi was full of vigor, wishing to reverse the tide of decline sweeping over the empire. The stubborn Sima Guang would rather leave imperial government than give up on proper orthodoxy. The literary Su Shi watched from the sidelines, unable to pick a side.

I came out of the storage room and was respectfully called the Supreme.

In short, this is a story about a librarian who, with the help of the wisdom of various philosophers, gradually transformed the world and sublimated civilization, and finally became the Supreme.

“What? You’re saying that even with half a million troops under my command, the Emperor still suspects me of treason?”

“Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence.”

“Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to ‘build influence’?”

“Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty.”

“Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!”

“But you keep referring to yourself as ‘We’…”

“Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!”

“……”
