Barren Years + Chaotic Times + System + Multiple Heroines + Building Wealth + Political Schemes + Rebellion
Transmigrating into a time of famine, Lin Zhou unexpectedly awakens a System that gives him a pack of spicy strips every day.
With those spicy strips, Lin Zhou leads his family to stockpile food and make money, building their fortune while secretly funding his sworn bandit brothers. Before long, he's a local magnate with influence in both the underworld and the legitimate world.
Once he has plenty to eat and wear, Lin Zhou's wishes are simple: buy more land, stockpile more grain, then take ten more concubines and enjoy life.
But then one day, he starts to wonder why all his subordinates are acting so strange.
The young man he rescued on a whim turns out to be a master?
The impoverished scholar he found by the roadside, half-starved to death, is composing a poem about rebellion: "When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers bloom and all others die..."
Are you trying to get your master killed? Shut up, right now!
His sworn brothers, who had disappeared without a trace, have returned and want him to come out of retirement and rebel again?
But I've already become the richest man in the county! I really don't want to rebel again.
Lin Zhou just wants a peaceful life as a rich landlord, but why does everything keep getting more alarming?
All he can do is repeatedly tell these people to settle down and stop dreaming up ridiculous schemes.
But then one day, they force a yellow robe onto Lin Zhou with their own hands.
Lin Zhou is on the verge of tears: You people... you've really made life miserable for your emperor!
Good-looking, good-looking
