Transmigrated as a Good-for-Nothing Heir: I United the Chaotic Lands

Modern office drone Lin Doudou opens his eyes to find himself transformed into the legitimate heir of the Lin family in Great Jing, a good-for-nothing who was bullied by servants until he was near death. He wakes up hungry, and the wicked servants still dare to push their luck? Lin Doudou immediately unleashes his sharp tongue, roasting the cruel servants until they’re crying for their mothers. From then on, his reputation as the “chatterbox heir of the Lin family” spreads through the streets and alleys. No one knows that behind his nonstop chatter lies the careful mind of a modern soul. When his second uncle covets the family fortune, he uses modern logic to expose the frame-up and turn the tables. When someone poisons his father, he relies on basic medical knowledge to prepare a folk remedy and protect the family’s legitimate line. Taking his younger sister to the capital, he takes on the literary establishment with sharp, accessible doggerel. He gets the “Immortal of Poetry,” Li Taibai, so riled that he strokes his beard in fury, yet wins the “Sage of Poetry,” Du Zimei, as a close friend. When Bai Letian starts a debate over high and low culture, Lin Doudou produces modern vernacular poetry, sparking a nationwide discussion and becoming the most eye-catching new star in the literary world.

His policies of light taxes and reduced labor duties secure him the post of Chief Secretary at Prince Yong’s residence. When the border is in crisis, he volunteers to oversee grain supplies. He saves Zhao Zilong with a “feint to the east and attack in the west,” wins over Guan Yunchang with reverse psychology, and even “tames” Cheng Yaojin, the notorious demon king, with his sharp tongue. At Yanmen Pass, he deals a crushing blow to the Northern Di with guerrilla warfare. At Kunlun Pass, he puts down a rebellion with improved firearms, rising from a Gentleman of Letters to Grand Marshal of All Armies. At the height of his power, he becomes entangled in a heartbreaking romance with Shen Luoyan, a military doctor from the borderlands. She is a pawn of the chancellor, yet takes a fatal blow for him. He holds power over the entire court, yet deliberately keeps his distance from her to protect her. Just as the crown prince he once supported bares his fangs...
