A modern project manager transmigrated to Southern Tang and became Li Zhongxuan, the second prince. Somehow, he was dragged into the palace's succession struggle and accused of wrongdoing. His unlucky father, Li Yu, sent him to a farm in Jian'an County, far from the imperial capital. But even there, he couldn't escape the assassins. He had only wanted to be a happy little landlord, but now that he was caught up in the struggle, he had no choice but to change. In troubled times, only the truly ruthless can survive. In the eyes of others, Li Xuan is both a Buddha and a devil. His journey is filled with schemes, betrayal, human nature, merchants, and romance.
Li Xuan thinks: Is it really plausible to make money by creating modern products after transmigrating? If you want to make money, being both a Buddha and a black-hearted schemer is the way to go.
When it comes to creating modern products, Li Xuan can only make things suited to the small-scale farming economy of the time. And how is he supposed to sell them in that era? The great nobles look down on anything made by commoners.
And why am I, Li Xuan, getting involved with the Cheng-Zhu school of Neo-Confucianism from two hundred years later? Isn't that even more ridiculous?
How did I end up helping a famous general come into being? Actually, there are several.
The story weaves in many of Li Yu's poems, bringing them into different moments so readers can immerse themselves in how Li Yu became a sentimental ruler.
