The history of the late Ming Dynasty was chaotic and complex, and can be described as a history written by a few people with strong personal charisma.

Whether it was rebels like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, rulers like Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan, or traitors like Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, each of them had many stories. It was because of these wonderful stories that the history of the late Ming Dynasty became so grand and turbulent.

To write this period of history well, we must naturally depict vivid characters, regardless of their stance. We stand on the edge of the long river of history and observe from the sidelines; they are merely a ripple in this long river.

To observe the world with a critical eye is what we need to do now, and to observe history with a critical eye is also a pursuit in our lives.

The river of history has flowed to our feet, and we can stand on its banks, ready to embrace our history.

This story begins in 2013. Mobile internet was booming, and everything familiar was undergoing rapid change. New trends emerged, challenging the traditional values of an ancient nation. It was a year of turmoil and prosperity. Some said it was a time of declining moral principles and a decline in moral values, perhaps the worst of times. Others said it was a year of vibrant energy, simplified government, and clean laws, perhaps the best of times...

[Slightly hardcore] + [A huge number of self-created academies and students] + [With both angst and sweet moments] + [Daily life/battle]...

Thirty years ago, the Seventeenth Joint Campus was destroyed by an unknown force, turning the once prosperous academy into a desolate ruin. Our forefathers fought desperately during the catastrophe, sacrificing their lives to give their descendants a chance to survive. However, the survivors still wander among the ruins, lost, helpless, and uncertain of the future.

Just as despair was spreading, a firm voice rang out:

"Reconstruction, revival, revenge."

Guided by this brief yet powerful message, the students of Campus 17 wiped away their tears and rose again. They rebuilt their homes from the ruins, unearthing buried scientific discoveries from the depths of the rubble, etching the tragedy into their hearts and transforming past pain into motivation for progress. Beneath the wasteland lies not only a shattered civilization, but also revelations powerful enough to change the future.

Thirty years later, when a similar disaster struck another school known as "Children's Eden," the students of the Seventeenth Campus resolutely raised the blade of revenge. They were no longer helpless survivors, but fighters who had overcome the shadow of death. With thirty years of accumulated experience and the strength forged from the ruins, they would safeguard hope and reverse their fate.

"The past belongs to history, but we remember it."

"What is now ruins, we will rebuild."

"The future belongs to hope, and we create it."

The sleepless nights engulfed darkness. I ran through the darkness, bloodthirsty monsters howling behind me. Through the thick fog, I seemed to see a faint light. It was a strange power! I had no choice but to throw myself into its arms. With it, perhaps I could survive. Beneath the shroud of fog, a combination of steampunk, witchcraft, and Cthulhu brought about the ultimate midnight revelry. I walked on the edge of darkness, between light and shadow. Nothing could control me, only shadows, everywhere... PS: This is a third-person perspective, and the protagonist is rational and cold.

No female lead but with a romantic subplot; not a saint or brainless character (as much as possible); villainous male lead.

Beyond the thirty-three heavens, beyond the nine layers of clouds dwell immortals.

Immortals were originally mortals, but the only problem is that mortals lack firm resolve.

Thirty years of human desolation, Cheng Liang only wishes to pursue herself.

His world was meant to be a tapestry of knowledge, intrigue, and controlled adventure, until an awakened Titan ruin shatters it all.
