Wang Ping wakes up to find himself the lowliest concubine-born son of the Great Zhou's Marquis of Wu'an. His birth mother died young, his stepmother oppresses him, and his brothers bully him. His life is worse than a dog's.
Yet memories from his previous life awaken within him: he was a business genius from the modern world!
He quietly builds trade routes, amasses wealth, and cultivates his own power;
he navigates factional struggles at court, keeping one foot in the crown prince's camp and the other in the Third Prince's...
Power plays and deadly rivalries, with danger at every turn!
From an abandoned son of a marquis to a successful candidate in the imperial examinations and an official,
from a low-ranking seventh-grade official to a marquis and chancellor,
he schemes against the powerful, wins allies, and eliminates his political enemies,
fighting his way to survival in a court fraught with danger!
Love and hatred intertwined, with the empire as the game board!
A noblewoman from a great clan gives him her heart, an enemy princess tempts him with deadly allure,
yesterday's allies betray him, and even those closest to him scheme against him...
In this game where the entire realm is at stake,
he must win!
