Synopsis

When Cheng Guang woke up, he realized he had traversed to another world. He had thought his transmigrated identity would be the esteemed Princely Heir to the Duke, but he hadn't expected an additional (pseudo-) in front of it. It wasn't tragic, but it definitely wasn't great either, it was just very helpless. Cheng Guang had thought that being able to be a pseudo-Princely Heir was the biggest cheat in his life, but to his surprise, he was also bound to a system. This system was even more of a scam! It seemed to have bound him three thousand years too early! It started by telling him he had advanced to the Heavenly Human Realm and instructed him to confront the Empress of Great Zhou, who was also in the Heavenly Human Realm. But he was just a small potato! However, wait a second, the Empress of Great Zhou, years later, seems to be just a pushover right now? Cheng Guang became resolute and confident again, I got this!!!

Comics is a medium used to express ideas through images, often combined with text or other visual information. Frequently, comics takes the form of juxtaposed sequences of panels of images. Often textual devices such as speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeia indicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information. The size and arrangement of panels contribute to narrative pacing. Cartooning and similar forms of illustration are the most common image-making means in comics; fumetti is a form which uses photographic images. Common forms include comic strips, editorialand gag cartoons, and comic books. Since the late 20th century, bound volumes such as graphic novels, comic albums, and tankōbonhave become increasingly common, while online webcomics have proliferated in the 21st century with the advent of the internet. The history of comics has followed different paths in different cultures. Scholars have posited a pre-history as far back as the Lascaux cave paintings in France. By the mid-20th century, comics flourished, particularly in the United States, western Europe (especially France and Belgium), and Japan. The history of European comics is often traced to Rodolphe Töpffer's cartoon strips of the 1830s, but the medium truly became popular in the 1930s following the success of strips and books such as The Adventures of Tintin.American comics emerged as a mass medium in the early 20th century with the advent of newspaper comic strips; magazine-style comic books followed in the 1930s, in which the superhero genre became prominent after Superman appeared in 1938. Histories of Japanese comics and cartooning (manga) propose origins as early as the 12th century. Modern comic strips emerged in Japan in the early 20th century, and the output of comics magazines and books rapidly expanded in the post-World War II era (1945–) with the popularity of cartoonists such as Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, et. al.). Comics has had a lowbrow reputation for much of its history, but towards the end of the 20th century began to find greater acceptance with the public and academics.

But some early Chinese works that might be considered precursors to the novel form were emerging at that time. For example, there were certain historical and fictionalized accounts of events and heroes that had elements which later influenced novel - writing.
