Rebirth of the Jade Engineer

He can build a bridge, but can he build a home? Shan Jian is a broken engineer with a technical "System" that only knows how to colonize and calculate.

The Conflict: The Empire is moving in, not with swords, but with "Engineered Droughts" and soul-crushing laws. The Hero: A man learning that his greatest invention won't be a machine—it will be a community. The Twist: His internal Ledger is starting to record the one thing the Empire fears most: Human Connection. [Uplift] [Slow Burn] [No System/LitRPG] [Healing/Found Family]
