The Xiao Clan Chronicles

Xiao Chengkang, a graduate student in weapons systems engineering, transmigrates into the family of a salt merchant in Shu. Using modern knowledge, he makes glass, soap, and sugar, turning his family into the richest in Shu through his own efforts. But the dynasty is nearing its end: foreign forces are invading, a foolish ruler sits on the throne, officials are corrupt, and the people are suffering.

Xiao Chengkang thinks his family’s wealth will be enough to keep them safe in their corner of the world. Little does he know that the world is unpredictable, and even remote Shu cannot escape the turmoil...

The early chapters focus on family life, household rivalries, and building wealth. The real upheaval comes later.
