After transmigrating into the ancient city of Qingzhou as its number-one good-for-nothing, Shen Yi is publicly dumped by his fiancée from the start and endures everyone’s contempt. At death’s door, the [National Fortune System] unexpectedly binds to him. This crumbling Great Xia dynasty has become his cultivation ground!
A poem, “Autumn Verses,” astounds the crowd, while three clever moves set his household in order. Su Jin, the wealthy young lady who once looked down on him, changes her gaze from disgust to curiosity. The mysterious heroine Liu Qi sneaks into his chambers by night, where blades flash and flirtation sparks. The foreign princess Alisa boldly declares her love, offering a realm stretching thousands of miles as her dowry.
Shen Yi thinks this is the pinnacle of his rise, only to uncover the opening chapter of the dynasty’s downfall deep within the Xishan mines. Chilling weapons, the sinister “Begonia Spring,” a conspiracy aimed at the throne... As a love that could topple a kingdom and a threat that could destroy it descend at once,
above the imperial throne, the woman who once shared life and death with him presses her sword to his throat. Her voice is cold:
“Shen Yi, between this vast realm and the beauty in your arms, you can choose only one today.”
