Chapter 170: Geumryongdang (2)
In martial arts novels, the daughters of wealthy families are almost always described as beauties.
Especially if they’re the daughters of prestigious martial arts clans, they’re often praised as the most beautiful women in the Central Plains.
That’s why back then, I left comments politely pointing out the implausibility, like, ‘It’s not like beauty is hereditary, nor is it absent without wealth, so why are beauties only born into rich families? Is the author an idiot? LOL.’
But.
After reincarnating into the martial arts world, I realized that wasn’t an exaggeration.
Due to the social custom of polygamy, the probability of a beauty emerging from a wealthy family was overwhelmingly high.
For example, let’s say a man named A in his mid-30s made a fortune and became rich.
In modern times, he’d probably squander his wealth on luxury goods or imported cars, but that’s impossible in the martial arts world.
So, what’s left?
Finding a pretty, young woman to marry as a new wife.
A’s son, having grown up seeing his father do this, also developed no aversion to taking multiple wives.
After several generations, the genes ensuring the birth of handsome men and beautiful women inevitably remained within that family.
However. There was a family that shattered this common sense of mine.
The Golden Dragon Sect I’m currently in, and the Martial Emperor City in the northeast.
The reason is simple.
They made choices for the family’s prosperity without regard for appearance.
