chancellor palpatine

May 1945. The Third Reich has collapsed. Berlin is in ruins, and Germany is reduced to "Hour Zero"—a lawless wasteland of starvation, disease, and hyperinflation under Allied occupation. Julian Vance, a 21st-century historian specializing in modern European relations, wakes up in the frozen mud of Frankfurt. He is now a low-ranking, 24-year-old translator for the US Military Government (OMGUS). He has no superpowers, no magical system, and no cheat codes. All he possesses is a flawless historical memory, a deep grasp of modern economic governance, and a cold, calculating mind. In a world where a pack of cigarettes buys a family’s survival and human lives are bartered on the black market, Julian begins his dangerous tightrope walk. To prevent a winter that will freeze millions, he must outmaneuver corrupt Allied generals, shield blacklisted German industrial minds from political purges, and weaponize the impending Cold War before Washington or Moscow even see it coming. He is not here to conquer with armies, but to rebuild from the ashes. This is the multi-decade epic of a man who used pure information asymmetry and institutional wisdom to rule the ruins, spark an economic miracle, and rise to become the ultimate leader of a resurrected nation. "I didn't change the tracks of history. I merely drove the train through the fog."

Hidden in obscurity, yet his will stirred heaven and earth. A single word startled the court and the people; a solitary figure shook the royal gates. Small streams converge into rivers and seas. A subtle sound resonates throughout the Nine Provinces! *** The tavern was filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses. Suddenly, an old storyteller stood up, his robe fluttering as he slammed his hand onto the wooden table! Thud! The loud bang silenced the entire tavern. The next heartbeat, the old storyteller narrowed his eyes and tells a captivating story with his hoarse voice: "Listen up, everyone! Today I'm not recounting ordinary rumors of the martial arts world, but a well-known and extraordinary event—the Grand Chancellor who shouldn't have existed, Lord Fan Shao! Long ago, Great Yong was in utter decline. The court was controlled by mysterious figures of the martial arts world! Those old monsters secretly manipulated events behind the throne and even murdering the emperor to seize power... leaving the people in a state of utter fear! Aiya! After the previous emperor's death, the new young emperor's ascension should have meant he was merely their puppet! However... fate is unpredictable! His Majesty suddenly defied the heavens, appointing a completely unknown official—Lord Fan—as Grand Chancellor, right before everyone's eyes! This man possessed neither martial talent nor even cultivation; he was merely a mortal! At that moment, the court trembled, and the martial arts world almost fell silent! The old monsters sneered, thinking this man was nothing more than a blade of grass, incapable of causing any trouble. Who knew that Lord Fan's mind was as deep as the sea and his wisdom as sharp as a sword! On his very first day in office, he stirred up a storm: assassins attacked, yet he remained unharmed; corrupt officials ran rampant, yet he swiftly brought them down! With the body of a mortal, relying only on courage and strategy, Lord Fan shouldered the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by His Majesty—to restore the might of the Great Yong Dynasty and re-establish the dignity of imperial power! Gentlemen! Consider this: those cultivators who could annihilate mountains and rivers with a single finger were actually intimidated by a mere mortal, that is Lord Fan! Isn't this a cataclysmic event?" Publish time: Monday-Wednesday-Friday 17:00 (GMT+8)

Chancellor to an Undead University When a reality-bending "Awakening" rips through Atheria University, engulfing the campus in a tide of flesh-hungry "Blighted" and unleashing bizarre, terrifyingly mutated creatures, ordinary student Axel finds himself in an extraordinary predicament. It's not just the zombie apocalypse he has to worry about – a mysterious, game-like Sovereign System has just activated in his mind, inexplicably designating him "Acting Chancellor" of the now decidedly Undead University. Armed with a sharp, sarcastic wit, a fire extinguisher that’s seen better days, and a System that offers cryptic advice and a surprising talent for urban planning amidst chaos, Axel must navigate the blood-soaked halls and shadowy underbelly of his alma mater. His first mission: survive. His second: figure out what being a "Chancellor" in hell actually means. From securing a tiny, fortified operations room in a campus security sub-station to braving monster-infested maintenance tunnels in search of vital resources, Axel's new "job" is a crash course in extreme crisis management. Every shadow could hide a new horror, from the relentless Blighted to agile, Awakened monstrosities. But he’s not entirely alone. The discovery of a hand-drawn map and its resourceful, wary creator, Mia, offers the first spark of hope – a sign that other survivors might be out there. As Axel begins to utilize his unique Chancellor-level System abilities – like "Domain Awareness" and the power to slowly reclaim and rebuild parts of the sprawling 5000-acre campus – the dream of creating a true sanctuary, a beacon of order in a world gone mad, begins to take root. "Chancellor to an Undead University" follows Axel's journey from bewildered student to unlikely leader. Facing down grotesque horrors, forging uneasy alliances, and using his intellect (and a healthy dose of gallows humor) to outsmart both the undead and the unpredictable nature of his new powers, he aims to transform Atheria from a charnel house into a thriving haven. As word of his burgeoning settlement spreads, attracting a diverse cast of skilled (and often predominantly female) survivors seeking refuge and respect, Axel will learn that building a kingdom is even harder than slaying monsters – especially when navigating the complexities of leadership, budding romances, and the ever-present threat of a world determined to tear it all down. Get ready for a thrilling mix of system-driven progression, strategic kingdom-building, intense action, unexpected humor, and a touch of drama, all set against the unique backdrop of a university fighting for its very soul.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through.

Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
