10,000 x Rebate Wives: Becoming Strongest With My Effortful Investment
Han Jue was married off to the daughter of his clan's greatest rival. It was not an honor. It was a punishment, dressed in red with drums sounding like a funeral. Why? Because he had trash spirit root and no talent in cultivation.
It was also a punishment for the bride, Yun Qingshuang, once hailed a genuine, but then abandoned by her family because of her heaven-grade spirit roots that were emptying the clan's fortune, and the clan got a better heir with Pure Yang Root to replace her.
Two bitter individuals. Hundreds of eyes and ears waiting to watch the drama between them. Two families at war using the two of them as a fuse to do their bid.
Han Jue refused to be controlled by his family and become a joke for others. Since he married her, he would make sure he worked this out, so to stop her shaking hands, and feed her starving spirit roots, he gave her the only spirit stone he earned after toiling for three months.
[Investment System bound.]
[Give a gift to your wife. Receive ten times and more its value in return.]
[You may only invest what you spent effort to obtain.]
That last line is the whole game. It doesn't matter whether he bought it, borrowed it, inherited it, or stole it. It only matters that getting it cost him something.
So he gives.
The sword he spent days forging without rest after finding the materials in a dangerous area.
[Return: Nine Serpent Devouring Art — SSS rank.]
The pill he stole out of the inner vault of his enemy's treasury, avoiding death multiple times.
[Return: Meridians of the Undying Phoenix.]
Join Han Jiu's journey in this multiverse that starts in cultivation world.
What you're getting into: The system: Whatever Han Jiu invests in his wife comes back multiplied, starting at ten times. He can only invest things that cost him real effort. If he stole something at the risk of his life, it can be invested. If he braved danger to acquire a resource, it can be invested. He can't invest the things he got back from the system, and expect a return. What you'll find: -- For starter, a cold marriage that slowly earns its warmth. -- Visible, countable power in form of phenomena above the heads. Bulls for Qi Gathering stage, Tiger for Body Tempering Stage, and so on. -- Face-slapping that feels earned. -- A quiet MC who plans before he acts. -- Sect politics, alchemy, expeditions, and competitions, forbidden grounds, battlefields, and so on. A throughly made progression fantasy. AND, this is a harem story, but the early arcs focus only on Han Jiu and Qingshuang. The opening is a slow burn on purpose, but I assure you it will be more and more rewarding as I have set the pace properly and carefully, by planning each arc. Happy reading. I hope you like it.
