Transmigrated as the British King: Rewriting the Heavenly Kingdom's Fate

A modern man transmigrates into the body of Ying Wang, Chen Yucheng, of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, just as he is captured after a defeat and faces death by a thousand cuts. Knowing the full course of history, he refuses to die a martyr and seeks a way out from his death row. He resists the Xiang Army's siege, quells internal strife within the Heavenly Kingdom, uncovers traitorous plots, and mends various ills of the kingdom. In the turbulent late Qing era, with foreign powers eyeing hungrily, the young prince no longer heads toward a tragic end but, clad in armor, rewrites the fate of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. — Description from novelcodex.org
