I Earn Wives Through Military Merit and Take Three Thousand Beauties!

Qin Shou opens his eyes to find himself the poorest man in Apricot Blossom Village, in the Great Qin!

A bare house? So hungry he can feel his ribs against his back?

The village is so poor they can barely find a decent piece of cloth. The young women and newlyweds are so “scantily dressed” that Qin Shou cries, “I must not look!”

(Inner thoughts: This scenery... is way too much for a cadre to handle!)

He’s wondering whether to chew tree bark or live on the northwest wind when the government’s conscription order smacks him in the face:

“Kill five enemies, get it certified by the government, and earn yourself a wife! The more you kill, the better the deal... Ahem, stack up military merit and you’ll have wives galore!”

Qin Shou’s eyes light up, but then an even more outrageous voice booms in his mind:

[Ding! The ‘Harmonious Phoenixes: Marry to Grow Stronger System’ is now bound! Core rule: Marry a beautiful wife and your combat power will soar! The more wives and concubines you have, the stronger you get! A harem of three thousand? That’s just a pit stop on your way to becoming peerless throughout the ages!]

Beginner’s gift? A pair of “Unwearable, Genuine Red Underpants”! (System note: These are the “dignity of a beast,” granting +1 defense and MAX courage! They protect a vital area, so they must not be lost!)

Clutching the flashy red underpants, Qin Shou looks at the three words “earn a wife” on the conscription notice, then thinks of the System’s no-nonsense promise that marriage makes him stronger. A surge of primal power rushes straight to his head:

“I’m done living like a poor wretch! I’m doing this for a full stomach, decent clothes, and, most of all... three thousand beauties and peerless strength! Let’s go chop some heads!”

Other men enlist to earn glory. Qin Shou joins the army for one reason: to build up his bride fund...
