The Soft Rice Emperor

Lin Mo, a 997 workaholic, is killed by a truck on his way home and transmigrates into the body of a weak scholar in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. In this chaotic era, he uses his hidden Wu clan lineage and modern knowledge to be 'kept' by his childhood sweetheart, the wealthy Xu Wei, and enters the Imperial Guard. He discovers this is a world of gods and demons, where generals lift cauldrons and city walls are inscribed with grand formations. Activating his Wu clan bloodline, he gains physical strength and spiritual energy, and intercepts the Zhao brothers. He achieves great feats in the war against the Khitans, rising from a minor officer to a powerful general. After Chai Rong's death, he quells a rebellion and seizes the throne. With martial arts and improved weapons, he unifies the realm. Upon ascending the throne, vast qi fortune awakens his memories—this world is a post-Journey to the West realm, where the mortal world is a chessboard for gods and demons. Lin Mo innovates by fusing Wu clan energy, martial arts, and technology, creating spirit-energy cannons and flying warships. As the Human Emperor, he defies the gods, breaks the dimensional barrier, and leads his empire to transcend the Three Realms, achieving an unprecedented feat.
