The Prince's System Builds Great Xia

Modern history graduate student Xiao Chengyu transmigrates into the body of a doomed prince of Southern Chu and awakens the Heaven-Mandated Nation-Building System. The System assigns missions such as recruiting refugees, restoring military readiness, and reforming corrupt policies. Completing them rewards him with modern knowledge and ancient arts, including military strategy, medicine, and steelmaking. He feigns madness and stupidity to evade his pursuers, while secretly gathering elite warriors, building a trade alliance with modern economics, and reshaping the border army with The Art of War. He outmaneuvers the hypocritical Regent of Northern Yan, a scheming Southern Chu defector, and a fallen princess consumed by hatred, while winning over ten remarkable women, including a goddess of war and the daughter of a recluse versed in mechanical arts. From a disgraced prince to a regional warlord, he goes on to sweep through a chaotic age and found the Great Xia Dynasty. With land equalization and imperial examination reforms, he brings a thousand years of aristocratic clans to an end and defies fate.
