The County Magistrate Is Overflowing with Charm [Infrastructure Development]

Cui Min, a renowned game designer, is framed by a rival and unexpectedly transmigrates into the game he created, taking over the body of an NPC named Cui Ming, who shares his name.

Cui Ming was born into a prestigious family, with noble status and striking looks. He should have had an easy life, but instead he became a living foil to his cousin Cui Ren. Cui Ren was the eldest legitimate grandson, and even though he was born an idiot, his birthright naturally put him ahead of Cui Ming, the second branch's son. The two grew up together, but their treatment was worlds apart. With no other choice, Cui Ming disguised himself as a wastrel.

During a civil-service assessment, Cui Ming showed his talent for the first time, but received only a middling rating and was sent to guard the frontier. His idiotic cousin, meanwhile, was assigned to govern a wealthy county simply because of his birth. Having suffered one injustice after another, Cui Ming took his own life. The moment Cui Min transmigrated, he was forced to take over the mess his predecessor had left behind.

The Southern Liang realm was now surrounded by enemies and on the brink of collapse. It faced powerful foes beyond its borders and rebellions within, while the frontier was a prize coveted by every neighboring people. How could he defend the natural barrier of the Yangtze River? How could he expand the borders and reclaim lost territory? A host of problems came crashing down on Cui Chengjun.

More importantly, General Huan Su, who guarded the Yangtze, was notoriously difficult to deal with!

Just as he was at a loss, his game System transmigrated along with him, allowing him to obtain supplies at will. He decided to seek outside help and join forces with the young general to...

Reading Guide:

1. The male lead is from a junior branch of the family and has no inheritance rights, so he has to make his own way.

2. Ming is pronounced ming. It means tea made from tender buds. Lu Ji of Wu first wrote of the terms cha and ming in his commentary on the Book of Songs: "The people of Shu make cha, while the people of Wu call it ming."

3. The author's writing is terrible, so no personal attacks, please.

4. The golden finger is huge and powerful, and makes absolutely no sense.

5. This is an alternate world, an alternate world, an alternate world. Don't compare it to actual history. The maps of the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties will serve as a reference. I originally wanted to use the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms as a backdrop, but it was all too chaotic and confusing.

Theme: Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born to their station?
