Character setup: A highly capable top who’s always showing off but is actually steady and dependable X a universally adored, unlucky beauty bottom who seems innocent but is actually dark-hearted.
I’ve already written 200,000 words. I’ll start posting after National Day.
Zhuo Buxu, a top-tier rich second-generation heir, owns three construction companies. He’s been both a domineering CEO and a construction foreman for years.
While others went abroad to boost their résumés, he went to help build roads overseas. While others inherited their family businesses and fought in corporate battles, he went to the Americas to develop infrastructure and help his country establish diplomatic relations.
Then his plane crashed. When he opened his eyes...
The people here wore rags, lived in ramshackle homes, and spoke in incomprehensible babble.
Zhuo Buxu looked at the crumbling mud-brick house before him, the gaunt villagers, and an iron sword so rusty it could no longer chop wood.
He immediately pulled out the notebook of plans he always carried.
“Fine. Since I’m here...”
“...I’ll start from scratch.”
“I’ll help lead the people of this foreign land toward a better life, on behalf of my country...”
His computer had also gained an app called “People’s Well-Being.” By earning the people’s support, he could exchange it for infrastructure supplies.
Six months later.
The White Stone Tribe had become White Stone City. Cement walls towered high, waterways crisscrossed the land, and farmland stretched for miles.
The neighboring tribe attacked?
Zhuo Buxu stood atop the city wall and calmly waved a hand. “Release the catapults.”
Everything was flourishing. There was just one problem.
As the saying goes, cults and superstition are no good, and outdated feudal customs are even worse. Zhuo Buxu, wielding his strange app, discovered that the local people were always praying toward the south, muttering about their “god” who lived there!
He had to spread education here. They needed to cure their deep-rooted ideological problems, too.
Before he could even start...
“I hear you plan to drag all my people into literacy classes?” The “god” sat on a lofty throne, looking both amiable and impossibly beautiful. “And you intend to tear down my temple to build a school?”
Zhuo Buxu kept a straight face as he bluffed. “The temple doesn’t get enough light. It would make a perfect library. As for the statue, I can build a separate exhibition hall nearby. We can split the ticket revenue thirty-seventy. But if you want to be my client, I’ll need your name so I can draw up a contract...”
“My name is Fusu.”
His black hair fell like a waterfall, and his features were refined and gentle. Unlike ordinary gods, he carried himself with a dignified composure that didn’t put him on a lofty pedestal or keep people at a distance...
He looked just like someone.
Zhuo Buxu blinked and instinctively blurted out, “Did Ying Zheng come to work on foreign infrastructure too?”
“My father is far away in Xianyang,” Fusu said curiously. “But what does ‘foreign infrastructure’ mean?”
Only afterward did Zhuo Buxu finally realize...
He hadn’t ended up in some small South American country. He was in the Qin Dynasty, two thousand years in the past.
Standing before him was the famous ill-fated crown prince from history. Less than two years remained before the conspiracy that would change Chinese history.
Zhuo Buxu looked at the stunning beauty, who had no idea disaster was about to befall him, and silently added a line to the contract:
Additional clause: Party B shall take full responsibility for ensuring Party A’s safety.
“Come on, sign here. From today on, I won’t just help you build a library...”
“I’ll also tell you when it’s time to run for your life.”
“If necessary, I’ll go help build the Great Wall so you can escape!”
Infrastructure-obsessed rich heir top X historically famous, unlucky, gentle crown prince bottom.
Content warnings:
The male lead’s infrastructure projects and changing the course of history run side by side. This is a feel-good power fantasy, with no angst.
There are some political schemes and historical alterations. Don’t treat it as official history.
