Sold to a Brothel from the Start, I Had No Choice but to Rebel and Become Emperor

[One heroine] + [Decisive and ruthless] + [Not brainless] + [A slow start followed by a triumphant rise, by chapter three he's already thriving]

I transmigrated into a chaotic age, with war raging across the land and rival warlords vying for supremacy.

And me, Zhang Jingyuan, nearly got sold to a brothel as a male courtesan.

Then a benefactor came to my aid and taught me an inner-force cultivation method. In a single stroke, I rose like a dragon.

To repay the kindness, I joined the rebellion, hoping to overthrow this chaotic age and restore peace and justice to the land.

But why isn't the story going as planned? Marshal, I'm just a soldier who's a little handsome and can hold his own in a fight.

Don't marry off your stunning Sword Immortal daughter to me. I'm not looking to live off a woman.

Many years later, a certain man wearing the imperial robes gazed at the beautiful figure by his side, whose regal bearing could command the world, and silently thought, Well, this is actually pretty great.

[Pure romance. The leads grow together: he's handsome and she's strong from the start, and they both become formidable in the end.]
