From the Start, I Had Only a Child Bride, Yet They Begged Me to Take the Throne

Historical fiction + no golden finger + survival + gradual rise.

In the second year of Guangming (881), famine leaves the land strewn with corpses, while flames of war rage everywhere. Li Yan flees with his frail younger brother and child bride, Qiniang. When he is forced to grip a rusty hatchet, one thought takes root and grows wildly in his heart: this world should not be like this. From refugee to soldier, from squad leader to military governor.

My friends, let us boil wine with green plums as you watch me carve out a domain, claim a throne, and restore order to the world!
