I'm the Military Governor. How Dare a Merchant Push Me Around?

[Power Fantasy] Shen Zhou transmigrates into a novel and becomes the villain of the same name in an old, brainless romance for female readers: a domineering military governor commanding 100,000 heavily armored, battle-hardened troops and holding sole authority over the military and civil affairs of Jiangnan’s three provinces! But then he discovers that the villains in this world are all controlled by a “female-fiction brainless aura,” forced to act like lovesick fools and stepping stones for a bunch of brainless male and female leads? Shen Zhou gives a cold laugh. “My 100,000 troops live on blood and meat, and you want to talk to me about love and redemption? My blade is made to deal with every kind of protagonist aura!” [When the son of Jiangnan’s richest man, the original male lead, throws his weight around and makes threats:] The plot you expect: The villain fears his powerful family, bows his head and apologizes, then gets face-slapped. Shen Zhou’s physical salvation: He immediately assembles 5,000 heavily armored troops and smashes through the mansion gates. The male lead’s legs are shattered, the entire rich family is executed, and their fortune fills the army’s coffers overnight! [When the female lead’s aura summons a reclusive divine physician, the greatest swordsman under heaven, and a prince of the previous dynasty to come to the rescue one after another:] The plot you expect: The villain is stunned by peerless martial arts, and the protagonist’s party makes a dazzling show of force that drives back 100,000 troops. Shen Zhou’s physical salvation: Three hundred military crossbows unleash a volley! I don’t care what kind of protective martial arts or peerless lightness skills you have, you’ll all end up full of holes! The prince of the previous dynasty? Heavy cavalry tramples him into mincemeat on the spot! [When an arrogant concubine, who styles herself a “strong female lead,” tries to imitate others and claim half the military power:] The plot you expect: The villain is berated into seeing the light, kneels to beg forgiveness, and hands over his realm. Shen Zhou’s physical salvation: The entire clan is punished for the crimes of one! The women are sent to the entertainment quarter, while the men are tortured to death at the execution ground, their heads piled into a victory monument! Let the whole world know who makes the rules in Jiangnan! Morality? The law? They’re all a joke!
