Investing in the Reborn Empress, She Actually Calls Me ‘Husband’ Chapter 1: Childhood Sweetheart is the Future Empress

Eastern Wasteland, Purple Sun Prefecture.

The official highway teemed with the ruckus of carts and stallions under the brilliant midday sun. A massive caravan, consisting of over a hundred travelers and a dozen horse-drawn carriages, pressed forward at a grueling pace.

Parting the silk curtains of his carriage, a pale-faced youth leaned out, desperate for a breath of air.

"Phew..."

"Traveling across long distances in this era is pure agony. Truly."

The moment he opened the window, a cloud of road grit rushed in, triggering a violent fit of coughing.

"Young Master, the Clear Abyss Sect is still a two-day trek away," the driver remarked with a fawning grin. He served as the family’s steward as well.

Pausing briefly, he added with caution, "The coaches from our estate are already the most lavish transport available."

"I understand."

Li Mo sighed internally as he replied.

Modern luxuries like planes and bullet trains were vastly superior...

It had only been forty-eight hours since he had shattered the "mystery of the womb," reclaiming the memories of his previous life.

In that past world, he had been a resident of Blue Star—a realm defined by high technology.

The Great Yu Dynasty was a different beast entirely.

In this land, martial prowess was the ultimate law, and powerful individuals could exert the strength of gods.

He was currently sixteen. Before he could even begin to enjoy his status as a pampered Young Master, his father had shoved him into this caravan. He was being sent to attempt the entrance trials of the Clear Abyss Sect, a top-tier power within the Purple Sun Prefecture.

"Cultivation and martial arts..."

Li Mo’s expression turned wistful as he looked up at the three suns burning in the sky.

From the gossip of other travelers, he had gathered that even his father—who possessed the power of a walking tank—was merely ranked at the humble "Stubborn Bronze" tier.

Rumors suggested that the three celestial suns were actually the physical manifestations of two ancient Great Yu Emperors.

This wasn't mere mythology; it was recorded as historical fact.

One hour passed.

The light began to fade as evening approached.

Protected by armed mercenaries, the convoy finally pulled over at a roadside tavern.

As Li Mo stepped down from his carriage, the door of the following cart swung open.

A young girl emerged, clad in simple indigo cotton. Her complexion was as flawless and pale as white jade under the moon.
