The Lord Is Obsessed with Building Infrastructure [Transmigrated into a Novel]

A system transports Xia Zuoyi into a novel set in a fantastical, medieval-inspired Western fantasy world, where he becomes a beautiful, delicate young lord.

Male, interested in men, and doomed to be cannon fodder.

Under the dazzling influence of the heroine's Mary Sue halo, his character keeps making idiotic decisions to advance the plot, until he is finally convicted and dies an agonizing death by hanging.

After arriving in this world, Xia Zuoyi touches his pale, tender neck and thinks, I'd rather die than pursue gay romance. I'm building infrastructure instead.

Infrastructure beats romance! Please let me be beautiful all on my own! Thank you!

The Pope / the Duke / the Leader: "Did we agree to that?"

Here, the upper and lower classes are sharply divided, and the hierarchy is rigid.

Here, food is scarce, medicine is primitive, and city-states are constantly at war. Aristocratic splendor flourishes alongside the misery of the common people.

Here lies a realm of romance-and a world of barbarism.

Rumors across the Western Continent say that the Pope enjoys divine favor, the Duke wields more power than the king, and the leader of the merchants' guild commands the empire's wealth.

Yet it is Xia Zuoyi, bearing the name of the Rose Lord, who advances civilization throughout the Western Continent, sends its economy soaring, unifies its city-states, and builds a mighty industrial empire.

He is the empire's glory, its most vibrant and captivating rose.

Rumor has it that the Pope, the Duke, and the Leader have all fallen at his feet, only to be met with the Rose Lord's disdain.

Xia Zuoyi: "Q_Q These rumors are ruining me."
