More Children, More Blessings: Back in the Ming Dynasty as a Playboy

[More children, more blessings, family management, everyday life, lighthearted, stress-relieving, power fantasy, either taking concubines or on the way to taking concubines]

Wang Lang is a lazy hedonist with a practical modern mindset. He hates trouble but fiercely protects his own, is a devoted fan of lying flat, and has no interest in grand historical narratives.

After transmigrating into the wilderness beside Daming Lake in Jinan Prefecture, in the spring of Wanli Year Five of the Ming dynasty, the System assigns him an outrageous task: save the Ming dynasty.

The mission package includes money (an enormous amount), a house (a huge mansion), bodyguards, and an infusion of practical life skills.

Wang Lang scoffs at the mission and declares:

“Save the Ming dynasty? Me? I’d rather start by saving myself from loneliness. My goal: eight hundred wives.”

His first batch of concubines from the start numbers thirteen!

And so, the family talent pipeline project begins!

Years later, Wang Lang’s descendants are spread throughout the Ming dynasty, and every move the Wang family makes affects the fate of the empire.

At last, as the Ming dynasty teeters on the brink of collapse, history reaches a turning point.

Rebel armies lay siege to the imperial capital, while troops from beyond the passes break through a vital defense line.

The emperor and crown prince flee in panic, their elite troops wiped out.

At a desperate imperial council, someone cries out:

“Where can we go? Which troops can we use? Where can we find food?”

Silence falls.

An elderly nobleman, whose family is closely tied to the Wangs through marriage, trembles as he jabs a finger at the map:

“Jinan Prefecture... no, the shores of Daming Lake!”
