Dream of the Red Chamber: You're Just a Concubine's Son, So How Did You Become a Marquis?!

Ma Zhongye, an illegitimate son of the Fuyuan Marquis’s household, is sent by his stepmother to a country estate, but he has the Shennong Cauldron Farming System!

Others rely on experience to farm; he uses the System to become a “farming expert.”

On the Western Frontier battlefield, he draws blueprints and builds weapons, becoming a “tactical genius.” He crushes Western Xia in a single battle and is made Marquis of Xingqing.

Back in Bianliang, he turns down the emperor’s offer to make him commander of the imperial guards and devotes himself to agricultural research, vowing to make sure the people of the Great Song have enough to eat.

When the Liao try to recruit or assassinate him, he stays cool and turns the tables, manipulating them with ease.

Best of all, while dealing with scheming old foxes at court, he also shares sweet moments with his fiancée, making everyone envious of their romance.

He proves to everyone who once looked down on him: I, Ma Zhongye, am someone you can only look up to!
