Gu Chi transmigrates to the world of the Tang Dynasty, only to open his eyes and find himself the unlucky young master of a fallen family.
His status-conscious prospective father-in-law breaks off their engagement, and on top of that, Gu Chi has a mountain of debt to repay.
Luckily, the System comes through, rewarding him with a chain of pawnshops and banks worth a hundred million taels of gold from the start.
The engagement's off? Then I'll marry the most beloved Princess Changle in the land and show you!
Li Shimin summons Gu Chi to the palace and immediately starts asking him for money.
"The Turks are invading. The nation is in crisis, and this is the time for any man to distinguish himself."
"Since you have a hundred million taels of gold, why not donate some to the treasury to pay for the army?"
Gu Chi smiles. "Sure. Just betroth Princess Changle to me."
Li Shimin frowns. "I am the Son of Heaven!"
Gu Chi thinks, "So what if you're the Son of Heaven? You're still short on cash, aren't you?"
