No system, modern times, overseas nation-building.

In a parallel world, in May 1945, Burma was liberated. Li Shi transmigrated and became a battalion commander in the expeditionary force, but this time he chose a different path.

During the Battle of Okinawa, Li Shi and his men, as special auxiliary units of the United States, won unanimous praise from the American military.

After the war, Li Shi used his unparalleled wisdom to seize power from the Ryukyu Autonomous Council and promoted Ryukyu's independence.

Similarly, Li Shimin used his unparalleled wisdom to build the world's second-largest navy at the time and sailed to the South Seas.

The Korean War, atomic bombs, and other events occurred.

[Everyone can read minds + relaxed and fun + gossiping + giving up + Buddhist-like slackers + ensemble cast]

No romantic pairing! But he has a follower and friends! (He has a crush on the female lead.)

Perhaps it was because of good deeds in her past life that she was reborn as the legitimate daughter of an official family. All she wants to do is be a beautiful, laid-back, and carefree girl.

However, the Imperial Observatory determined it to be an auspicious omen, and the emperor personally bestowed upon her the title of "Divine Messenger"!

When told that she had become the only female official in history to be allowed to attend court, Yun Qingyi was on the verge of tears. She didn't want to go to work, and she didn't want to get up early.

Her father comforted her, saying, "No, this isn't a job! The Emperor said she just needs to sit there and be a beautiful mascot."

All the officials in the court knew was that she could hear heavenly sounds; what they called heavenly sounds were just the gossip-eating system she was bound to.

She spends her days slacking off at court and gossiping, unaware that everyone can hear her true feelings!

As a result, the entire court heard many shocking stories and developed a love for gossip, even increasing their attendance rate significantly!

[What! The illegitimate son of the Ordnance Bureau is simultaneously corresponding with seven or eight women? What a master of time management!]

The Ordnance Bureau: Which rebellious son committed such a despicable act? I'll skin him alive...

Upon returning home that day, he thoroughly investigated all the illegitimate sons, and what he found shocked him.

[Breaking news! The young master of the Qi State Duke's mansion is the husband of Princess Pingyang and also the secret lover of General Yunhui!! Wow!]

General Yunhui: ...

[My God! The Ninth Prince loves cross-dressing! He's definitely a cross-dressing master!]

emperor:……

After the court session that day, several princes presented their younger brothers with a large trunk full of women's clothing. The younger brother was overjoyed; one less competitor.

[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!

[Transmigrated Cannon Fodder + Multiple Female Leads + Cruelly Abusing the Chosen One + Imperial Guard + Imperial Examination + Officialdom + Eliminating Traitors + Empress]

He transmigrated into the body of Lin Zhi, a cannon fodder young master in a book. Ten years ago, his father went to the countryside to collect rent and took in a little boy who was about to starve to death. Now, the boy has achieved academic success and is suing him in the capital for forcibly stealing his academic achievements. A servant's daughter wants to take him as a fall guy. After becoming pregnant with the boy's child, she even helps him give false testimony, planning to kill Lin Zhi together in the Shuntian Prefecture court.

Fortunately, the literary leader arrived, and he astonished the world with his skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. A mural of "Guanyin Sending a Child" drew worship from believers throughout the city; a poem, "A Laughter in the Vast Sea," amazed the entire capital's literary circles; his chess skills rivaled those of the nation's top players; his unique "slender gold" calligraphy astonished civil and military officials; and his vast knowledge of poetry made others hesitant to compose. Who would believe that such a brilliant and talented young nobleman would steal the mere title of student from his own servant?

In court, his silver tongue sent his page to the guillotine, ensuring his servant's daughter would spend the rest of her life in prison. To protect his family's wealth and maintain his standing, he joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard, becoming the Empress's top henchman. He rose step by step from a lowly officer to a commander, eventually creating the Embroidered Uniform Guard's secret branch and becoming an underground emperor.

He thought he only needed to sharpen his knife and kill people, but the rebellion played a trick on him. He was ordered to investigate the cheating in the imperial examination and participated in the provincial examination. He then passed the provincial examination with the highest score and entered the court. With his strong backing, he was promoted in one fell swoop. He became Minister in two years and Grand Secretary in three years. The Ice Queen said that she only wanted to become the biggest.

Since entering the palace, Yun Li has transformed into a two-faced, hypocritical woman. She's a constant charade. Facing the favored concubine, she'll verbally attack her while feigning grievance, saying, "I envy you for receiving His Majesty's favor." When framed, she'll slap her casually before crying, "Why treat kind people like this?" When the Empress speaks, she nods absentmindedly, "Your Majesty is my guiding light! I will always obey Your Majesty!" But when facing the Emperor himself, she's obedient, adorable, and utterly devoted. "I love you so much! I have no regrets, I only wish to stay by your side, I want nothing more." However, in her heart: "I don't like you, I'm just being sweet-talking."

[Rebirth and counterattack + revenge against scum + crematorium + career building + unconventional space + face-blind young man]

In her past life, Bai Yurong sacrificed her life to keep her fiancé's heart by consummating their marriage and having a child. This led to her being firmly bound to the Jiang family, ruining her own life and costing her son's life.

Returning to 1954, her fiancé, who had fallen in love with someone else, reappeared, and the ruthless Chiang family tried every means to bleed her dry.

All she wanted to say was: Get lost! Don't get in my way of turning the tables!

Enjoying life, striving for success, and receiving applause—this is the right path for a capitalist's heiress!

But who can tell her why, after meeting that genius, she was able to travel to his side?!

Also, isn't he face blind? Why does he kiss, hug, and lift her up high every time he sees her?!

My name is Xiangzi, the Xiangzi who pulls a rickshaw.

...

The Great Shun Dynasty collapsed, and the whole country rejoiced. Inside the city, all was peaceful; outside the city, refugees swarmed like ants.

A half-moon hangs eternally in the sky, and countless steam-powered airships drift by.

On the ground, ancient families, spanning thousands of years, coldly watched as warlords fought to the death over those colorful ores.

At this moment, Xiangzi, who was supposed to be executed, suddenly woke up after his death and even had a panel that could awaken a profession.

[Congratulations, host, you have awakened the profession of coachman.]

[Congratulations, host, you have awakened the Martial Arts profession]

[Congratulations, host, you have awakened the cultivator profession]

......

At first, I was a third-class rickshaw puller, and they called me Xiangzi.

Later, everyone in Beijing had to call me "Master Xiang".

She was a genius physician from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but after ten years of hardship in a post-apocalyptic world, she developed a cold and ruthless heart. One night, she transmigrated, becoming the despised, good-for-nothing, and foolish eldest daughter of the Marquis of Dingguo. From then on, she rose from the ashes, a seemingly useless woman making a comeback. With her left hand, she used her medical skills to bring the dead back to life, heal wounds, and revitalize her family; with her right hand, she seized divine treasures and slapped faces repeatedly. However, she inadvertently provoked a certain two-faced, thousand-year-old demon.

Forced to marry an old man as a second wife? No problem, she'll take down the scumbag—and run for her life! But, whoever this is, I'm running for my life, I don't have time for you, why don't you go play by yourself?

"Ugly woman, I'm looking for a wife. Why don't you come and take my place?"

"Ugly woman, I'd like to discuss with you how to have a baby!"

"Ugly girl? Ugly girl my ass!" This is the last straw! The woman snapped, "Jun Qianhuang, if you say that again, I'll call off the engagement!"

He is a king who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, bloodthirsty and ruthless, ruling the life and death of a city; she is nothing but a useless orphan girl from the Yun family; step by step, he falls in love at first sight and is determined to marry her as his concubine, devoting his entire life to her with both iron will and tenderness!

[Fictional empire + war of a hundred races + superpowers + battles in various small worlds + hunter group + slow burn in the beginning + ensemble piece + some exciting moments and some angst.]

God gave life to all things and created the world.

As He was dying, humanity betrayed the god, taking with them greed and wisdom, and established an empire.

The successor, inheriting divine power, made a vow to destroy the world and established the Papacy.

From then on, the Empire and the Papacy were locked in a war that lasted for millennia.

The empire is like a train, with the royal family as the conductor, the four major financial groups controlling the direction, local conglomerates as passengers, and the citizens as fuel.

They hummed a song called "Eternal Empire," riding the tide of the times, their voices echoing day and night on the railway tracks called war.
