I founded a heavy industry group in the late Ming Dynasty.

In May of the third year of the Tianqi reign (1623), the Yellow River breached its banks in Guide Prefecture, leaving countless people starving. Wei Zhongxian, concurrently serving as head of the Eastern Depot, formed cliques, manipulated the government, and sold official positions. Beyond the Great Wall, the Later Jin dynasty rose to power, repeatedly breaching border defenses. The Central Plains suffered frequent natural disasters, including drought and locust plagues, leaving widespread famine. The gentry's land grabbing intensified, and the military system of garrisons deteriorated. The extreme weather of the Little Ice Age caused consecutive years of crop failures and rampant plagues. Modern-day office worker Chen Ying transmigrated into the body of Chen Boying, a military household member in Guide Prefecture. Upon waking, he found himself forced into marriage with Song Yanniang, the sister of Song Xianze. A bizarre marriage beginning with forced incest, a down-on-his-luck military household member subtly influences the political landscape to change his fate. How to survive in the dark and chaotic late Ming Dynasty? How to transform technology into power? Transmigrator Chen Ying forges a legend of grassroots rise in the late Ming Dynasty.
