Great Tang: Become the Emperor's Mentor? I'd Rather Be a Carefree, Womanizing Landlord!

Li Wangyou transmigrates into the body of a fallen young master from Huxian County. He's so poor he can barely scrape by, and the Taiyuan Wang family is pressuring him to break off his engagement. He's wondering how to get rid of his 100-kilogram fiancée when Su Changqing, his sharp-tongued female boss from his previous life, drops from the sky and lands right in his bathtub. Her fitted little suit is soaked through, and the scene is mortifying beyond words.

Su Changqing has an MBA, and she sees the situation at a glance: the Wang family is desperate to call off the engagement, so they can squeeze them for a fortune! With a million coins in hand, Li Wangyou immediately recites, "Heaven gave me talent, and it must be put to use." The Wang family steward is dumbfounded, and their clan leader is so angry he wants to cast him out of the clan.

Li Wangyou couldn't be happier. He takes the gold and promptly opens a soap workshop. When the first batch reaches the Prince of Qin's residence, Cheng Yaojin tries it and soon all of Chang'an is talking about how "that Li kid can work magic." Hearing of him, Li Shimin summons him to the palace. "I need an Imperial Tutor. You can do the job." Li Wangyou waves his hands in refusal. "Your Majesty, I just want to be a carefree little landowner."

While Li Shimin is still fretting over how to deal with the great clans, Li Wangyou has already sold soap, perfume, and strong liquor to the grand estates of the Five Surnames and Seven Houses. The officials stare at each other in bewilderment. Where did this guy even come from?
