Reborn as the historically nonexistent eldest son of Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II and Queen Isabella, the elderly Charles VIII declared: "I have done only one thing in my life: uphold Habsburg leadership and lead Rome towards revival."
In 1422 AD, the Eastern Roman Empire had long lost the glory of Justinian's era. Its territory consisted only of Constantinople and a few isolated enclaves such as Morea, resembling a giant ship sailing on a sea of time, its hull riddled with holes, struggling to stay afloat amidst the turbulent waves of history. In this turbulent moment, a stranger's soul drifted to this land, vowing to change everything and give this ancient empire, now in decline, a new lease on life.
Chen Xing, who was arguing with netizens, was stunned. Good news: He'd transmigrated! Bad news: He'd transmigrated to Tsarist Russia! Damn it! I'll test whether this netizen's claim of Russia being able to dominate Europe is true! Good news: I'm the heir to the throne! Bad news: Seems like I can't win... Chen Xing plans to prioritize technology. Bad news: Chen Xing is a complete novice; he doesn't know how to develop technology. Good news: The wife sent by Prussia seems quite capable. ---------- Pure transmigration without a system.

This is the eve of the Industrial Revolution, the eve of a war-torn era in Europe. Watch the protagonist pave his way to the end, leaving others with no path to follow.
Travel back in time to 19th-century Greece and witness his rise from a small Balkan nation.

And this is Constantine, the only sun of the Balkan Peninsula, the heir of Komnenos, the second Aristotle, the world's restorer, the Turkic butcher, and the loving father of the Roman people: Rome has only one chance to be revived.

The Seven Years' War (1756-1763) marked the beginning of Great Britain's transformation into the British Empire, the prelude to the independence of the United States, and the emergence of Prussia as a major power. During this war, a minor figure named Prince Pinney, the abandoned eldest son of a Caribbean sugar plantation family, was exiled to America. On his way, a protagonist carrying 21st-century knowledge arrived and replaced him. Thus began his own path to rise in America! Sugar plantations! This was the most prevalent economic system of the time, but how could someone exiled to America cultivate sugarcane? Tobacco! This was the dominant product of America, but what power did an abandoned "eldest son" have to compete with the tobacco family, especially the future President of the United States—George Warren…?

The life of Wall Street's most legendary short.
During the Battle of Los Angeles, illegal immigrant Chen Ping died unexpectedly.
With deep resentment, Chen Ping was reborn in America in 1891 and possessed the body of a 14-year-old white boy named Larry Livingston.
His lack of historical knowledge in his previous life and this premature rebirth left him completely unable to seize the opportunities of the times.
But he always felt that he was extraordinary and that he should be a legend.
A voice told him:
Go to Wall Street, that is your battlefield...
38 years later, in 1929, Larry Livingston became a legendary trader feared by Wall Street. He single-handedly planned the U.S. stock market crash and the economic crisis that swept the world!
Everyone who went bankrupt because of Livingston cursed him to go to hell.
But Livingston said,
"Hell? I am the devil who returned from hell. I am the ghost that roams over the capitalist world! Tonight, I want to hear the sound of kneecaps cracking all over Wall Street!"
(Rebirth + endless war in the financial market + a little disturbance of history = the life of a legendary Wall Street short)
