The Commoner's Son: I Worked the Nobles into the Ground

Li Mu, reborn as the son of a poor family and a concubine, has one great ambition: to have enough food and clothing and live a lie-flat life.

Unfortunately, his parents don't care for him, and his siblings aren't close to him.

Even his childhood betrothed insists that he break off their engagement.

In the end, Li Mu is driven out of his home with nothing to his name.

With no other choice, he forces himself to become a relentless striver.

Drawing on the dogged perseverance he had in his previous life, Li Mu rises step by step in the Great Liang Dynasty, becoming someone the empress and princesses all compete to claim.
