Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

by Tao Gong Wang

The Daqian dynasty crumbles under tyranny and endless warfare, leaving its people desperate and starving. When Chen Jie awakens after transmigration, he discovers he's become a dissolute gambler shackled to poverty—with a wife named Su Yunjin and her five-year-old sister Su Yunrui depending on his every move.

But the bruises marking her face tell a different story. Ding [Daily Intelligence Updated] [1. Last night, you gambled away three acres of fertile land.

The word echoes through Chen Jie's mind as he stares at the porridge, then at his wife's lowered eyes and the fingerprints of violence on her skin. "Honey?" "Mm?" "You're not planning to poison me, are you?!"
