Gu Yun has just transmigrated when he opens his eyes to find himself bound and taken to a bandit stronghold. He’s supposed to become the fierce female chieftain’s husband.
They want to consummate the marriage that very night? He pulls out a Reform Plan for the Stronghold instead.
From then on, everything changes!
While others rob travelers, he farms, mines, and trades, swallowing up the surrounding territory without bloodshed through “economic warfare”!
While others fight among themselves, he trains soldiers and manufactures paper, bows, and crossbows, crushing the rotten government forces with “technological superiority”!
Before long, the rundown stronghold has become a “paradise on earth” overflowing with wealth, and every one of his followers is rich...
When he smashes the corrupt dynasty in one fell swoop, the entire court kneels and begs him to take the throne.
Gu Yun looks at his former “wife,” now empress of the realm, and helplessly spreads his hands.
“I really only wanted to live off a woman. You’re the ones who insisted on giving me an entire empire!”
