Starting with a City: I’m the Boss in the Frontier

share time: 2026-01-13 00:35:54

Lin Xiaoman, a modern corporate slave, was burning the midnight oil playing a game when he suddenly traveled to Qingyan City—a border town in an alternate dynasty—and became the "useless city lord" despised by all the townsfolk. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was cornered by officials demanding three months of overdue taxes. Worse, the lord of neighboring White Tiger City showed up with betrothal gifts, threatening to annex Qingyan as a dowry. At that moment, the "Frontier Rise System" bound to him: [Host, binding successful! Mission: Double Qingyan's per capita income tenfold in 30 days, or be erased!] To survive, he used modern tactics: hunger marketing for wild jujube dried fruit, couple-style wool felt group buys, and turning a system-rewarded brick kiln into a网红 barbecue stall, drawing crowds from nearby cities. Su Wan, a runaway female military advisor, initially called him a "country bumpkin" but lit up when watching his live stream sales. They went from bickering partners to a sweet couple, solving troubles (like a water dispute with a tug-of-war) with humor, and turning the shabby Qingyan into the "richest frontier city" commended by the emperor!
