Strongest Poor Scholar: From Imperial Matchmaking

Reincarnated as a poor scholar named Chen Shouzhu, the government forces a 'death-bringing' wife, Lin Wanyi, upon him, threatening military service if he refuses. He defies the superstition, digs ginseng to start his business, builds a brick factory, and manufactures crossbows to defeat the antagonists. When bandits raid at night, he sets traps to kill the leader and claim the reward. Rejecting official corruption, he opens shops and runs a textile factory to enrich the villagers. Despite being urged to enter politics, he refuses, proving that true counterattack lies in the countryside, not the court.
