I'm Already Eighty, and You Still Want Me to Marry and Have Kids?

Wang Zhishan transmigrates to an unknown ancient dynasty. From the start, all he has is a huge IOU. To make matters worse, his predecessor was not only poor, but old, with just thirteen days left until his eightieth birthday.

Even more absurdly, people in this world have to pay a poll tax if they do not have children. Commoners are exempt once they have four, but members of the royal family have to have twenty-eight!

Since his debt is unpaid, the Great Qian laws decree that anyone who turns eighty without marrying and still refuses to pay taxes will be torn apart by five horses. Worse still, royal heirs must first take a convicted woman as a wife before they can marry normally.

Fine, he can marry. But when he learns that taking a convicted woman as his wife will leave him millions of taels of silver in debt, and force him to give up everything and take up a fief in a barren land, Wang Zhishan nearly faints!

At this crucial moment, the System activates. Getting married and having children earns him tributes. The better his wives, the more tributes he receives, which can even be exchanged for heaven-defying pills such as lifespan elixirs.

Joy falls from the heavens. Wang Zhishan waves his hand grandly. “Why choose? I’ll take the most expensive ones, all of them!”
