Transmigration: I Am the Marquis Who Aids the Sage

Feel-good fiction, transmigration, not a goody-two-shoes, business, political scheming, military affairs

Chu Ye, a university student, unexpectedly transmigrates to the Great Xia Dynasty. Starting as a low-ranking nobody, he uses his sharp mind to gradually enter a series of struggles involving business, military affairs, and political scheming, becoming an influential force in the dynasty's power game.

Beneath the calm surface of a long era of peace, danger is brewing: imperial authority is waning, local powers are carving up the realm, martial arts sects are restless, and foreign enemies eye the nation's territory. Merchants, the martial world, and the imperial court are intertwined in a Game of Thrones that touches every part of society.

The shopkeeper looked somewhat anxious. "Young master, we've just confirmed that the Zhang family's cloth shop has indeed been won over by Chu Liang. We're now at a disadvantage on price."

Chu Ye smiled faintly, a trace of coldness appearing at the corner of his mouth. "He's ruthless, as expected, but he's moving too fast."

The shopkeeper furrowed his brow. "But, young master, our stock can keep us going for the next few days. If this drags on any longer, it may affect our normal business."

Chu Ye pondered for a moment, his gaze sharp as a blade. "Have someone keep a detailed record of these delayed deliveries. Find a suitable opportunity to submit the records to the merchants' association."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up as he seemed to understand. "Young master, do you mean to make Chu Liang pick up a rock and drop it on his own foot?"

Chu Ye nodded slightly, a playful smile on his lips. "This is only a probe. The real killing blow must be saved for last."
