A Poor Boy Finds Himself an Empress Wife from the Start

Modern-day overworked wage slave Wang Lei dies suddenly and transmigrates, becoming Li Goudan, a penniless scholar in the Great Qian dynasty. The moment he opens his eyes, the village chief forces a wife on him, saying the county government has sent over refugees and that taxes will go up if he doesn’t marry one. Looking at the starving girls swaying on their feet, he plans to pick one at random, but then he spots a pretty girl in the crowd with a sharp, defiant gaze. Only later does he learn that she is the fallen female emperor, Zhao Lingxi!
