Stealing the Light: My Life as a Live-In Son-in-Law

After transmigrating to the late Ming Dynasty, Lin Mo became a lowly live-in son-in-law in the British Duke’s household. All he wanted was to survive the chaos.

But when he witnessed firsthand [insert a specific scene, such as the streets of the capital strewn with starving corpses or rampant corruption among officials], he realized that this land didn’t need someone to patch things up. It needed a gravedigger!

So he used the [Microscope] to unite the people, [Basic Steelmaking] to arm his army, and [Financial Bonds] to drain the Ming treasury.

He began laying his plans in the British Duke’s household, quietly establishing his own order amid the fiery struggle between Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, and Hong Taiji.

When Chongzhen hanged himself at Coal Hill and the Eight Banners’ cavalry charged south through the passes, they would face a brand-new empire built by a live-in son-in-law, with “reason” and “science” as its creed.
