Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in Dali

Synopsis: [Political Intrigue] [Poetry and Literature] [Making Money] [Under His Wife's Thumb] [Lighthearted]

Chen Jiuyue transmigrates.

He becomes a low-ranking clerk in the criminal affairs office of Hui County, in the State of Li.

Thanks to his superb calligraphy and the countless poems he memorized in his previous life, a brief display of talent catches the eye of a noble. He leaves Hui County for Chang'an and enters the turbulent world of the Great Li.

He battles powerful ministers, helps a new emperor ascend the throne, and becomes the emperor's tutor.

He fights the Xiongnu, expands the realm and secures the borders, earning the title of Great Li's God of War.

He makes money, visits brothels, establishes national policies, and ventures into the martial world... He thrives in the State of Li and becomes a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, powerful enough to sway the realm.

“At first, all I wanted was to start a small business, earn some money, and buy a house closer to the county office.”

“I never expected a noble to notice my calligraphy. But it really must be excellent, because the old gentleman who taught me to write in my dreams was named Wang Xizhi.”

“Oh, you haven't heard of him? He's actually a hidden Sage of Calligraphy.”

“As for all that business you mentioned about expanding the realm and killing the Xiongnu... That's nothing worth mentioning.”

“What I'm truly proud of are the women I love and my brothers.”

“As for your claim that I'm richer than the nation, that's true.”

“After all, I have such a big family to support. Sometimes I want to visit the pleasure quarters, and I absolutely can't do that without money.”

“That's enough. His Majesty wants me to accompany him south of the Yangtze. His private treasury must be short of money again. Sigh... I have my troubles too. There's always something I need to worry about!”
