Great Ming: I'm Eighty, and You Want Me to Marry for an Alliance?

Chu Zhen transmigrates to another world, becoming an ailing, eighty-year-old Retired Emperor in a dying kingdom.

Enemy armies are at the borders, the entire court hopes he will die soon, and a foreign tribe even sends a fierce Grand Princess to force him into a political marriage, hoping to humiliate him to death!

At this critical moment, the [Myriad Worlds Emperor Technology System] awakens!

Every time he takes a concubine, he receives a life-span bonus and blueprints for technology from a different era!

On his deathbed, Chu Zhen jolts upright: “I’ll endure this humiliation! Bring the enemy nation’s Grand Princess into the palace at once!”

[Ding! Concubine recruitment successful. Rewards: ten years of life, a spinning jenny blueprint, and a Gatling gun blueprint!]

From then on, the Great Qian takes a dramatic turn.

Just as the enemy nations believe Great Qian has already fallen, Chu Zhen has regained his youth and is crushing the world with steam-powered ironclads and rifle squads!

And that’s not all. Chu Zhen opens a historical portal between two worlds and sails his ironclads straight onto the Yangtze River outside Yingtian Prefecture, the capital of the Ming!

Zhu Yuanzhang stares at the steel behemoths on the river and the Gatling gun in Chu Zhen’s hands, completely dumbfounded.

Chu Zhen: “Old Zhu, I have miracle medicine that can save Empress Ma and Zhu Biao, as well as firearms capable of conquering the world. Work for me and help me conquer it, and I’ll give you half the realm!”

Years later, just as the West is beginning its Age of Exploration, Chu Zhen’s Great Qian and Old Zhu’s Ming have already joined forces to build an empire spanning the Myriad Worlds, where the sun never sets!
