Lin Yue, a modern-day office drone worked to the brink of collapse, opens his eyes to find himself the lowest of the low in ancient society: a live-in son-in-law. Before he can even get comfortable in his new home, a haughty rich young lady kicks him out, making him the laughingstock of Qingxi Town.
Broke? No problem. He's got modern knowledge buffs!
Look down on him? Just wait. His sizzling grilled fish takes the whole street by storm, and an improved pickled vegetable recipe earns him his first fortune. He turns a tiny street stall into a chain of shops, making the Zhang family, who once broke off his engagement, regret it deeply.
“Lin Yue, I was blind back then...” The once aloof Third Miss Zhang Lan blushes as she offers him an olive branch.
Lin Yue chews on a blade of grass and raises an eyebrow with a grin. “Sorry, now I'm the one choosing.”
From a poor scholar everyone looked down on to a top-tier star of ancient commerce, he takes in orphans, fights bullies, breaks monopolies, opens restaurants, and builds a merchant caravan, even expanding his business all the way to the Western Regions. People laugh at his humble origins, but he's determined to make the words “live-in son-in-law” the most famous brand in the Great Qi Dynasty.
But... why does the young lady who keeps helping him in secret, while acting impossibly aloof, look at him more and more strangely?
“Lin Yue, stop right there! Who said you could be so happy talking business with other girls?”
“Oh? Is the eldest Miss Zhang... jealous?”
When the ingenuity of a modern office drone collides with the rules of ancient feudal society, and a down-and-out live-in son-in-law meets a proud heiress, watch Lin Yue defy fate, make money and find love, and become a legend even the emperor must treat with respect!
