The Cool and Composed Commander’s Lucky Little Scamp

[Obliviously thick-skinned protagonist] + [Scheming, jealous top]

After transmigrating, Shen Yanqing is finally able to coast through life, only to discover that he’s about to receive the “family confiscated and head chopped off” package!

All because his father is a die-hard lackey of the Third Prince, and the whole family will be doomed after backing the wrong side? No, please, anything but that!

To keep himself alive, Shen Yanqing decides to sabotage his father and hold him back!

His father picks a side, he undermines him. His father tries to arrange a marriage alliance, he breaks up the match!

His father does everything he can to win over that powerful Commander who rules the court… Wait, why does Commander Tang keep catching him every time he tries to swoop in and claim the spoils?

Tang Moji, Commander of the Zhenxuan Bureau, is cool and austere, a sword the Emperor holds over the heads of his officials.

Recently, he’s noticed that the useless illegitimate son of the Minister of Revenue is acting strangely. While investigating a military funds case, he finds him just after he’s opened a hidden compartment, clutching a box of money he’s picked up along the way and, incidentally, exposing the Fourth Prince.

While investigating spies from the Nanyue Kingdom, he spots him digging a tunnel in the spies’ den with his rear sticking up in the air, looking for money.

Even when the imperial treasury is empty and the Emperor needs to raise funds, he comes up with ingenious, outrageous schemes…

“Glass investment scam” and “Ponzi fundraising” leave the great clans speechless!

Tang Moji grows more and more suspicious: is this man hiding his true abilities, or does he just keep getting lucky by accident?

Then, during the autumn hunt, Tang Moji is wounded by an assassin. The playboy Shen Yanqing spends the night in a cave caring for him.

From then on, whenever he sees Shen Yanqing lying in bed, weak and pale from the backlash of his precognition, his heart begins to ache. That’s when he realizes he doesn’t want to let him go and wreak havoc on someone else.

He wants to keep him by his side and under close watch for the rest of his life.
