Starting with Choosing a Wife, I’ll Build the Mightiest Great Xia

Chu Xuan transmigrates to the unfamiliar Great Xia dynasty. From the start, his family gives him a wife, and he’s saddled with a mountain of debt! Worse, because of his low status, he’s sent to a barren wasteland filled with bandits and unruly peasants. It’s a hopeless start in a place of harsh terrain and grinding poverty. But he says it’s no big deal. Steel and salt refining, crossbows and glass, cavalry and explosives: the dazzling marvels of modern civilization give him an overwhelming edge. Years later, Chu Xuan looks back and realizes that an obscure mountain village has become the most powerful territory in the land, with all the great lords coming to pay their respects! It all begins with choosing a wife. He’ll build the mightiest Great Xia!
