Heavy Snow Seals the Mountain: I Keep Eight Hundred Female Prisoners Well Fed and Well Wined

[Alternate History] [Snowy Mountain Homesteading] [Multiple Heroines] [Warring States]

After transmigrating to the final years of a dynasty, Chen Jinghong becomes a low-ranking soldier tasked with escorting prisoners.

Because he has no money to bribe his superiors, he is assigned to escort eight hundred female relatives of convicted officials to the frontier...

Who could have expected a once-in-a-century blizzard to strike along the way, cutting off the mountain roads and exhausting their food supplies!

Failing to deliver the prisoners on time is punishable by death, and the lives of all eight hundred women are hanging by a thread!

In this desperate situation, Chen Jinghong awakens the [Artisan System]. As long as he collects Emotion Points, he can exchange them for all kinds of crafts!

Unlocking [Cooking], he makes a pot of fragrant braised pork. The once pampered young ladies, who had never lifted a finger, are so tempted that they sneak to his door in the middle of the night, pleading sweetly for him to make another meal.

Unlocking [Mechanisms], he builds a Zhuge repeating crossbow that can fire ten arrows in quick succession. The proud daughter of a military family is thoroughly impressed and insists that he teach her how to aim and shoot, guiding her hand himself.

Unlocking [Weaving], he produces fine, soft silk. Even the imperial princess, born to wealth and privilege, blushes as she holds out her newly tailored dress, insisting that she wear it just for him...

From then on, while snow seals off the mountains outside and corpses litter the land,

inside the mountain stronghold, the kang beds are warm, the wine is hot, and the eight hundred beauties feast on meat, poultry, and fish until they are full!

When spring comes, the realm descends into chaos, and warlords vie for supremacy.

Only then does the court realize in horror...

That insignificant escort soldier has already led eight hundred female prisoners to build a mighty city deep in the snowy mountains, wealthy beyond compare and powerful in arms!
