From Live-In Son-in-Law to the Sage of Great Xia

He was one of the founders of the Great Xia Dynasty, the founding emperor’s tutor, and a sage of the literary Dao. He personally designed the empire’s grand blueprint, built upon “literary aura” and “martial fortune.” Yet on the very day his work was complete, his own disciple, the new emperor, sentenced him to death and wiped out his entire family.

Hundreds of years later, the nation’s fortunes waver and treacherous ministers hold power. Reborn after enduring humiliation, he becomes a notorious “sickly son-in-law” in a fallen aristocratic family.

On his wedding night, he opens his eyes to find a wife as cold as ice and humiliation about to come knocking.

“I taught that emperor everything, step by step, and he had me killed. Now a bunch of fools who can barely recognize all the characters dare to swagger in front of me?”

And so the entire imperial capital notices that the useless son-in-law of the Su family has changed.

When he takes up his brush, his words cut like a sword, each one a pearl, summoning wind and thunder. When he makes his plans, he commands the world and leaves nothing to chance, stirring the imperial court.

From a son-in-law everyone could bully to a sage revered by all under heaven.

Lu Zhiwei says that in this life, he only wants to live in peace. But if someone insists on courting death...

Then he’ll just have to teach this world all over again.
