A cynical 21st-century historian, contemptuous of the Soviet Union's collapse, is inexplicably reborn as Gennady Yanayev in the heart of Moscow, August 1991. Armed with future knowledge and a ruthless determination, he hijacks the impending coup, not to preserve a dying system, but to forge a new, terrifyingly efficient Soviet superpower poised for global domination. Following a freak accident, Alex awakens not in a hospital, but in the body of Gennady Yanayev, Vice President of the USSR, on the eve of the infamous August Coup of 1991. Initially disoriented, Yanaev quickly grasps the monumental implications. This isn't just a second chance for a forgotten historical figure; it's a chance to rewrite history on an unimaginable scale. Discarding Yanayev's hesitant, fumbling persona, Alex – now Yanayev – moves with a chilling decisiveness. He knows the coup is doomed to fail in its original form, a pathetic whimper before the inevitable collapse. He intends to make it a roar. Using his intimate knowledge of the key players, their fears, and their secrets, Yanayev systematically neutralizes his rivals within the State Committee on the State of Emergency. Where persuasion fails, veiled threats and, when necessary, swift, brutal assassinations clear his path. With the Soviet Union now firmly in his iron grip, Yanayev implements radical reforms – not towards democracy, but towards a hyper-efficient, technologically advanced, and ideologically re-energized state. He purges corruption with an iron fist, revitalizes the military-industrial complex by leveraging future technological concepts (albeit with 1990s resources), and masterfully manipulates nationalist sentiments to unify the fracturing republics under a new, stronger Soviet banner. The West, initially confused by the coup's unexpected ferocity and success, watches in dawning horror. The United States and its allies, anticipating a Soviet implosion, now face a resurgent and far more dangerous adversary. As Yanayev's USSR begins to project its power outwards, reasserting influence in Eastern Europe, forging new alliances in Asia and Africa, and challenging American dominance at every turn, a new, more perilous Cold War ignites.

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. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." 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.
