Starting with a Ruined City: I'm the Boss on the Frontier

share time: 2026-01-12 12:31:24

Lin Chuan, an overworked office drone, died from pulling an all-nighter and woke up as the “loser lord” of a desolate border city—with three pounds of IOUs hanging on the city walls and the hooves of Xiongnu cavalry already audible outside. To make matters worse, he’s bound to the “City Lord Zhangye System,” which forces him to level up by doing absurd things like “teaching residents square dance for fitness” and “selling border jujubes via modern live streams”? Adding fuel to the fire, Su Wanning, the new female captain, is convinced he’s “faking insanity to rebel” and checks his accounts with a sword daily. But when he’s surrounded by Xiongnu spies, Su Wanning will cut through the crowd with red eyes, yelling, “Who’ll explain square dance to me if you die?” as she shields him. As the useless lord revives the barren city with “modern ideas” and the tough-talking female general falls for him in “unreliable daily life,” why is this frontier counterattack sweeter than jujube honey?
