An accident sent Shen Rufeng into another world, where he became the dissolute young heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei, notorious for drinking, gambling, and chasing women.
He thought he could use his handsome looks to indulge in a life of pleasure and enjoy every moment. But beneath the surface, sinister undercurrents surged and danger lurked everywhere.
The emperor was wary of him, while powerful clans watched from all sides.
The Marquis of Zhenbei’s household appeared illustrious, but in truth it was teetering on the brink of ruin.
With no other choice, Shen Rufeng played the pig to eat the tiger, hiding his sharp edge behind a smile. He stockpiled provisions, secretly trained a band of loyal fighters, and laid one cunning plan after another.
By day, he lounged in the arms of beauties, watching people through drunken eyes.
All the while, he built towering walls, recruited soldiers and horses, and quietly took control of the northern frontier.
While the powerful men at court still dismissed him as a useless fool, the north had already come under the rule of a new house.
A hundred thousand cavalry swept through the snow, heading straight for the capital!
The young marquis, once mocked by everyone as a spoiled wastrel, would finally claim a kingdom with his sword and smile as the tides of the world turned.
There's nothing wrong with the plot, but I personally feel it's too literary. Some people may like this tone, but it doesn't suit me.
