The Merchant's Aspect

[Alternate history + multiple heroines (sort of) + one true heroine + comedy]

Lin Liyi arrives in a bizarre and fantastical world. There’s a country here called the Great Shang, but it’s nothing like the Shang dynasty he remembers. It’s more like a complicated amalgam: troubled borderlands, eunuchs meddling in government, factional infighting, powerful aristocratic clans, sages rarely seen in a thousand years, and villains rarely seen in a century...

A little bit of everything, and incredibly complicated.

And so Lin Liyi begins his new life:

[No! I’m willing to be Lord Niu’s ox and horse!!!]

[You mean... there are no soldiers in the capital?!!]

[I wonder, Lord Liu, do you enjoy a drink?]

After going through all that, where will he end up?

[Your Majesty, why are you rebelling?]

Note: The early chapters may be a little tame, but I promise there’ll be plenty later on. I hope you’ll bear with me, since this is my first book.
