I Only Sell Paint, So Why Are You Drafting Me?

Ji Yan, a graduate student in materials science, transmigrates overnight into the son of a factory owner and gets a car-paint factory on the verge of bankruptcy from the start.

To turn the business around, Ji Yan exploits a loophole in the law and launches a new type of car paint that can evade electronic traffic cameras.

The product becomes an instant hit, and the factory makes a fortune.

Just as Ji Yan is counting money until his hands cramp, the military bursts through the door.

"We heard you have stealth materials here."

"Come on, officer, we're running a perfectly legitimate business!"

With one foot practically in prison, Ji Yan earns his freedom by developing valuable materials and is appointed a materials expert for Daxia.

The car-paint factory is transformed into a military-industrial enterprise.

Then Ji Yan develops carbon fiber, superconducting materials...

He gets so many official appointments he can barely keep up.

Ji Yan's parents return from their trip and stare in bewilderment. "Good grief, where on earth have we ended up?"
