Lord Obsessed with Infrastructure Development [Book Transmigration]

Xia Zuo Yi transmigrates into a novel with a medieval Western fantasy setting, becoming a beautiful and exquisite little lord. Male, prefers men, and is cannon fodder in the story. Under the Mary Sue halo of the female lead, he constantly acts foolishly to drive the plot forward, only to be convicted and executed by hanging. After transmigrating, Xia Zuo Yi touches his fair neck and thinks, "I’d rather die than engage in romance—I’ll focus on infrastructure!" "Romance pales in comparison to infrastructure! Let me thrive on my own! Thanks!" Pope/Duke/Leader: "Did we agree to this?" Here, the upper class and lower class are starkly divided, with a rigid hierarchy. Here, food is scarce, medicine is backward, and city-states are embroiled in endless conflicts—luxury for nobles coexists with poverty for commoners. Here, it is both the city of romance and the age of wilderness. Rumors abound in the Western Continent: the Pope is blessed by the gods, the Duke holds more power than the king, and the leader of the merchant guild controls the empire’s wealth. Yet it is Xia Zuo Yi, known as the Rose Lord, who propels the Western Continent’s civilization forward, fuels its economic boom, unites its city-states, and forges a mighty industrial empire. He is the empire’s glory, its most vibrant and captivating rose. It is said that the Pope, the Duke, and the Leader all fall for him—but the Rose Lord pays them no heed. Xia Zuo Yi: "Q_Q Rumors lie."
