Intense pain forced me to open my eyes. After getting familiar with my surroundings, I realized I'd been transported to the body of a middle-aged German man. Damn, my mind wasn't listening, and I couldn't remember my own name. Apparently, I'd lost my memory. Fortunately, I knew I was Chinese. How did I know I was Chinese?

The yellowed calendar marked the year: October 4, 1938. It seemed I had a new identity: Erich von Richthofen.

A history student is unexpectedly reborn as Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1915, during the raging flames of World War I. He decisively halts the deadly submarine war, champions the technological revolution of tanks and aircraft, strategically sows discord among the Allies, and secretly funds the spark of the Russian Revolution. From breakthroughs on the Eastern Front to the formidable Western Front, from court intrigue to diplomatic backroom deals, he leads Germany to defy historical destiny, triumph over the war, and forge a Central European alliance centered on Berlin. This is a clash of modern thinking and imperial ironclad force, witnessing the "disabled hand" reshaping the world.

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 the face of powerful adversaries, the Swedish King Karl XII—who hails from a future era—tells his soldiers: "Victory or death."
