Synopsis

After transmigrating into the most miserable son-in-law in history, Lu Heng was thrown out of his in-laws’ home for being utterly useless.

With one poem, “Prelude to Water Melody,” he made a name for himself in Hangzhou, and wealthy women paid a fortune for his company.

Everyone said merchants were beneath respect. He was determined to become richer than a kingdom and build a business empire that transcended the ages.

Everyone said scholars were useless. He formed a secret guard, trained private troops, and built firearms. Wherever his forces marched, even the imperial court had to yield.

His confidante was the most celebrated courtesan in Jiangnan, his business partner was the chancellor, and even the emperor became a shareholder in his perfume business.

The peace faction saw him as a thorn in their side, while the leader of the Xuantian Sect regarded him as a worthy rival. Even his stunning ex-wife, who had once divorced him, eventually tore up the divorce papers and begged him to come back.

Lu Heng placed a piece on the board and smiled. “This realm is nothing more than the biggest deal on my chessboard.”

I will make Jiangnan bear the Lu name, make the court heed me, and bring all ninety thousand li of this land into my hands.

My Favorite Historical Novel on Tomato Novel

I'm looking for books like Taking Another Name in Langya. Transmigration isn't a dinner party; it's a deadly game at every turn. The plot should be vivid and interesting, with side characters who are smart. The protagonist should slaughter their way through life-or-death situations. It should be historically accurate, with a natural romance.
