The Great Liang Dynasty appears prosperous, but beneath the surface it is rife with danger. Land concentration is severe, the imperial examination system is ossified, powerful enemies lurk beyond its borders, and corrupt ministers control the court from within. The protagonist transmigrates into the body of the emperor and uses modern thinking, along with the support of the four formidable women in his harem, to carry out land reform, promote the nation through science and technology, expand the military, and break through diplomatic impasses. He transforms the Great Liang from a crumbling dynasty into a flourishing empire. “The women in my harem are all pillars of the realm, and my country is built of bricks and tiles. No woman is useless; there are only emperors who don’t know how to put people to work.”
