Jian Liang transmigrates into the body of the second son of a Northern Song imperial examination candidate, only to discover that the man was also reborn. Furious at the schemes his older brother and sister-in-law had used against him in his previous life, the reborn man had beaten the wicked pair with his fists, only to have his head cracked open by his eldest nephew, who rushed in, and die once more.
Now Jian Liang must face a frail body, a life of poverty, a fiancée who has been sold, and a lack of aptitude for study. Then he awakens a Spend-Money Cashback System. Whenever he spends money on a woman bound to the System, he gets a multiple of it back. The first woman he binds is his fiancée, and he soon achieves financial freedom in a small local county, gaining wealth, success, women, and a healthier body.
Later, he binds Mo Jue, who is disguised as a man, and discovers that although his wealth grows even faster, he has been drawn into a power struggle between the emperor and the empress dowager. The emperor’s personal guards, the Jingwu Office, and the empress dowager’s protectors, the Cining Office, appear to be fighting over court power, but the conflict also involves the martial world and the demonic cult.
Fortunately, Jian Liang’s System can upgrade its membership tiers. As his membership rises, he can learn skills and martial arts, and even purchase inner strength. His martial arts therefore advance by leaps and bounds: from a third-rate Body Tempering expert to a second-rate Meridian Opening expert, a first-rate Innate expert, and a Grandmaster... then all the way to the Heavenly Position and Land Immortal realms.
When he finally steps into the martial world, he discovers a surprising number of familiar faces: his father-in-law, Wu Yazi; his senior brother, Straw Sandal Brother Su Xinghe; and the rivals in an illicit love triangle, Li Qiushui and the Tianshan Child Grandma...
Jian Liang: “Your son-in-law pays his respects to Senior Wu Yazi. Oh, no! I should say, Father-in-law!”
Wu Yazi: “There’s no need for formalities. You’re the prince’s husband; you honor this old man too much.”
The tone is... surreal.
