Lin Fan wakes to the sound of suona horns and firecrackers. Dressed in a bright red wedding robe, he finds people pushing him into a bowing ceremony with a large rooster. (Miss Su is gravely ill and unable to get out of bed.)
· The guests around him whisper among themselves: “Tsk, tsk. Scholar Lin had no choice. He owed so much in taxes and debt that he could only sell himself to the Su family.” “He'll be one of the Sus now. Even his children will have to take the Su surname...” His mother-in-law, Wang, eyes him with disdain, while his father-in-law, Su Boyong, remains impassive, as if he has merely bought an object.
· Lin Fan's inner monologue: “What the hell? Did I transmigrate? And straight into a hellish kept-man scenario? I'm a live-in son-in-law from the start? Did they borrow this script from Wei Xiaobao?”
Forced to live off a wealthy family as a kept man? Watch me use modern thinking to conquer the imperial examinations and deliver a face-slapping comeback to everyone!
