(Alternate history, no System, son-in-law)
“I borrowed that money with my own skills. Why should I pay it back? Duke of Chu, how much did you even give me? You didn’t give me a million, so why should I care about you? Why are you trying to get my attention? Get lost already!”
Liu He, a food delivery guy, transmigrated to the Great Xia dynasty. The heir to a marquis’s estate had been demoted to son-in-law, but Liu He only wanted to run away. He tried to go home, only to find himself completely penniless, so he had no choice but to return to the Duke of Chu’s mansion and be a son-in-law.
Unable to stomach the food of the past, Liu He began making iron pots, opening restaurants, and selling strong liquor. He launched one hit venture after another, with scions of the great clans lining up to hand him money and the emperor sending a princess to seek cooperation...
Armed with modern knowledge, Liu He started with food, then made gunpowder, built a fleet, and conquered the world. The peerless beauties, including commandery princesses and princesses, all became his. He went from being a son-in-law to the true power behind the Great Xia dynasty.
