Liu Ma, a modern double top student, transmigrates by accident and becomes a good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law in the Great Yan Dynasty, jilted by his betrothed. From the start, he is publicly humiliated by Shen Qingyi, the Shen family’s legitimate daughter, and becomes the laughingstock of the entire city. But he possesses knowledge and cunning far beyond his time, along with a golden finger that lets him master martial arts at astonishing speed. His “good-for-nothing” persona is merely a carefully crafted disguise.
The Shen family is beset by troubles within and without: grain merchants drive down prices, the bank faces a run, and the clan elders plot to seize power. Liu Ma turns things around with modern business strategies, using ingenious schemes such as “grain ticket pre-sales” and “deposit bonuses” to resolve the crisis. He also cracks cold cases with criminal investigation techniques and impresses military families with his strategic thinking.
The aloof and beautiful Shen Qingyi goes from disdain to curiosity, then falls for him after they face life and death together. The wandering physician Su Qingyao comes seeking a partnership in intelligence gathering, only to be won over by his talent. Zhao Lingxi, the fierce daughter of a military family, witnesses his strategic brilliance, and their feelings grow as they fight side by side. The enemy princess Yeluyan comes to spy on him, only to become entangled in a conflict between her loyalties and her feelings.
From the misty rains of Jiangnan to the tumult of the capital, he plays the pig to eat the tiger amid political intrigue, uncovering the secrets behind his family’s destruction and the mysteries of the previous dynasty. He outwits the imperial family, the martial world, and enemy nations alike. When the “good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law” transforms into a noble of humble origins, he faces a choice in a world at war, alongside four beautiful women: should he pursue vengeance to his heart’s content, or protect the land? See how a transmigrated son-in-law turns the tide, lives freely, and brings peace to the realm.
The content is good and things develop very smoothly. It's a bit confusing to read. How come the male protagonist's name is Liu Ma? It's so funny hahahahahahahahahaha 🤔 [Crying with laughter]
