Chen Xuan foi incriminado pelo irmão mais velho e expulso de sua família. Seguindo as regras do clã, teve que escolher uma esposa e três concubinas para partir para as fronteiras e dar continuidade à linhagem. Por acaso, despertou o “Sistema de Retorno de Afeição”: quanto mais conquistasse a afeição das mulheres, mais recompensas ganhava! Diante de sete jovens de beleza extraordinária, talentos distintos e origens diversas — como a orgulhosa princesa da Grande Tang, Li Xiuning; a secretária da imperatriz, Shangguan Wan’er; e a poetisa da dinastia Song, Li Qingzhao — Chen Xuan declarou: “Quero todas!” Construiu muralhas sólidas e acumulou mantimentos.

“Choose your wife and concubines quickly and proceed to the borderlands to assume your role as branch clan leader!”
Chen Xuan, dressed in a simple azure robe, stood tall and handsome, his clear brows and refined features making him stand out in the crowd.
He slowly cupped his hands and replied calmly, “I am willing to obey the clan’s arrangement.”
Having been transported to this world for three days, he finally understood his identity.
The Chen family was one of the three great clans of the Great Qian Dynasty, wielding immense power.
He was the thirteenth child of the Chen family, born to a concubine; his parents had died early, and his uncles and cousins paid him no heed.
Because the original self had glanced a few times at the daughter of the Duke of Luo’an, whom his elder brother secretly admired, the eldest brother grew jealous and acc
