Xiao Chen was framed by his elder brother and cast out of his clan. Following the family instructions, he chose one principal wife and four secondary consorts, then traveled to the frontier to defend the borders and expand the territory.
By a twist of fate, he awakened the "Devotion Cashback System": as long as he won a woman's affection, he could exchange it for generous rewards!
Before him stood eight peerless beauties, each breathtaking, distinctive in temperament, and born into illustrious families: the aloof Princess Zhao Lingshuang of Great Zhou, Su Miaoyin, a disciple of the female chancellor, the talented Liu Rushi of Southern Tang, and others.
Xiao Chen declared he would take them all!
Dig deep trenches and stockpile grain.
Three years later, Xiao Chen led his consorts and a million iron cavalry and a thousand divine generals, earned through cashback rewards, to mass outside the pass.
The clan that had once looked down on him and the old friends who had mocked him were now utterly terrified.
Even the empress bowed and submitted: "I offer my empire as a betrothal gift, and will wed you, my dear Xiao!"
It's a good start, I hope you can kill decisively and drive well.
