[Wildly satisfying, trope-subverting fun + management principles beating the ancient world + a sigma male protagonist + the ultimate love-triangle showdown + she forgives the whole world]
I transmigrated into the body of the empress's fiancé. I planned to use modern knowledge to get rich, only to discover that this ancient dynasty's tech tree was absurdly crooked.
I gave up. The whole idea of getting rich through transmigration was a scam.
Fine. If I can't beat you at technology, I'll beat you at people.
I run the empress's empire like a company:
Water projects operate on a 996 schedule, and every tael saved goes straight into my pocket.
The arms industry gets an assembly line, and even the salaries saved by cutting ghost soldiers are mine.
The whole court calls me a treacherous minister. I don't care. After all, the court's money is the empress's money, and the empress's money is my future wife's money.
It's just that Her Majesty, who keeps summoning me to the palace to “discuss affairs,” has been looking at me more and more strangely.
She even blushes and begs me, “Would you... discipline me one more time?”
And the three best friends she orders to assess me, the chancellor's daughter, the general's daughter, and the duke's daughter, each end up “assessing” their way into my bed.
We all understand one another without a word, until I make a fortune shorting three kingdoms and save up a “wife fund” that shocks the whole court.
The empress is delighted and sets our wedding for an auspicious day.
Three days before the wedding, she decides to surprise me by visiting my residence in disguise.
She opens the door, only to find her three closest friends in a state of undress, gathered around me.
A storm that will sweep across the dynasty erupts in that moment.
The court historians don't know how to write it down, and the court calls me a traitor and rebel.
But I only want to know: when the supreme empress catches her husband in an affair with her friends, what will she choose?
Will she act decisively and spill blood?
Or... will she give an outrageous answer without precedent in history?
