Taking a Concubine for Good Luck? One Look at a Manual and I'm Instantly Maxed Out

[Dual Transmigration + Empress-Building + Former Employee Strikes Back + Martial Arts Progression + Multiple Heroines + Court Power Struggles + Technological Ruins]

Gu Changsheng transmigrates into the body of the Gu family's eldest legitimate grandson, only to discover that he is terminally ill and has lost all his memories. He nearly drops dead just walking to the back hills.

Although the System can let him unleash a burst of power in an instant, one punch burns through several degrees of electricity, and if the charge drops below ten degrees, it shuts down!

He has no money and no martial arts skills. To make matters worse, his fifth-rank clan cousin swipes a thousand taels from him, and two pig trotters land him four hundred taels in loan-shark debt.

Gu Changsheng can only recharge by basking in the sun and extend his battery life by cuddling his wife. Then he sneaks into the library pavilion and scans tens of thousands of martial arts manuals straight into his brain.

Martial arts manuals load themselves and train automatically!

In the eyes of others, he is a suddenly enlightened sage, both scholarly and martial.

Gu Changsheng himself only wants to train until he reaches max level, take control of the Gu family, and utterly crush every heartless capitalist who ever exploited him.

What he doesn't know is that the Empress of Huaxia, thousands of miles away, has already recognized him.

Wang Ziyan, who used to dock his pay every day in their previous lives, transmigrated twenty years before him. Now she rules the land and is waiting for him to bring the entire Gu family to the capital.

This time, who will be working for whom?
