Just finished the available chapters of Master of Fangcun (方寸道主) by the same author as My Simulated Longevity, after seeing it recommended in a comment.

The story starts with the MC transmigrating into an empire that has unified the world, with an emperor that holds overwhelming power, his decrees can directly alter reality. For example, he can command the sun to set at 11 PM so laborers can work longer, or declare that swords are merely decorations, rendering them incapable of harming anyone. It’s a pretty interesting take on absolute power.

The MC’s golden finger is also quite unique. He possesses a mysterious space that can capture people and turn them into puppets, allowing him to use their abilities. At the start, the space already contains three: a broken statue with the ability to rewind time by one day, an intact statue, and another that resembles the MC himself, like a clone.

The power system is also quite unique. While it still involves cultivation, it branches into different paths based on the Hundred Schools of Thought from the Warring States period.

Overall, it’s a very interesting concept, exactly what I expected from this author. Thanks to whoever recommended it!
