After I Transmigrated to Great Ning, I Used Technology to Secure My Place as the Legal Wife

The Great Ning Dynasty appears prosperous and flourishing, but under the surface, undercurrents are stirring. The imperial family and powerful clans jointly rule the realm, while a mysterious organization called the Tianji Pavilion hides behind them, possessing technology and firearms far beyond their time, much like the Temple in Joy of Life. The continent is divided into nine provinces. Though the states are bound by alliances, their spy wars have never ceased. The capital is dazzlingly prosperous, and tales of “immortal relics” circulate in its entertainment districts. Social classes are rigid, but the imperial examinations and military achievements offer paths to advancement. The world blends ancient rites and customs with the hidden remnants of a modern civilization, creating an atmosphere where historical depth intertwines with mystery and providing a plausible stage for the protagonist to use modern knowledge to break conventions. There is also a special legend about “spirit veins,” which are actually remnants of ancient radiation that affect the practice of martial arts. Factional struggles within the court are fierce, barbarians watch hungrily from the north, and pirates plague the south. Amid these internal and external threats, the protagonist’s transmigration will become the key variable.

The power system has two paths: martial arts and strategy. Martial arts are divided into nine ranks, with the first rank highest and the ninth lowest. The strongest can split mountains and shatter rocks, much like the qi in Joy of Life. Strategy has no tangible form, manifesting instead in intelligence networks and economic influence. A special feature is “relic technology”: the protagonist can use modern knowledge to make goods such as glass and soap to build wealth, or extract chemicals to produce poisons. The Tianji Pavilion guards an arsenal of weapons from the old era, which can only be opened with a specific bloodline or key. Martial arts training requires breathing techniques, and high-level fighters can intuitively sense danger before it strikes.
