The Disgraced Young Master of Bianliang: From Beggar Gang Prodigy to Hidden Power Broker

Thirty-two-year-old office drone Hao Yi dies suddenly from overwork and transmigrates into the Great Jing dynasty, becoming an orphaned refugee boy outside Bianliang. Out of a moment of misplaced compassion, he shares his only food with an old beggar, unexpectedly unlocking a "hidden boss": the beggar turns out to be the Beggars' Sect leader, as well as Lu Kuangge, a top military scholar and all-around genius from the previous dynasty! Over the next three years, Lu Kuangge gives Lin Mo an intensive education in martial arts and military strategy. At eighteen, Lin Mo uses his modern knowledge to place third in the imperial exams, then refuses an official post on the spot. His bold move catches the emperor's attention, earning him military authority that others could only dream of. He crushes bandits, receives an imperial marriage decree, and finds himself pursued by heroines from all walks of life and noble young ladies alike... Relying on the "survival wisdom" of a modern office drone, Lin Mo excels at poetry, military strategy, and making money, rising through the ranks until he becomes The Outcast, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. But once he reaches the pinnacle of power, he suddenly grows weary. What can imperial power and riches offer that compares with hiding away in Jiangnan with a group of beloved women and enjoying a shamelessly carefree life? And so this big shot, who went from an abandoned boy in Bianliang to someone who had everything handed to him, ultimately chooses to take his power and beauties with him and retire in carefree seclusion!
