Shen Yuanchen transmigrates into the life of the son of Yangzhou’s richest man. His lifelong ambition is to spend money and live as an idle, carefree layabout.
But one imperial decree arranging his marriage instantly makes him a prince consort and drags him into the capital’s power struggles.
The nobles see merchants as appetizing fat sheep, the civil officials condemn him as a sycophantic social climber, and even the princess looks at him coldly.
The court is seething with factional strife and infighting. His plan to lie flat is in tatters, and there’s no way to live carefree!
Shen Yuanchen is furious. If they won’t let him live in peace, then he’ll smash his way through the world with money!
As the god of merchants, he stirs up the court’s game of power.
When the empire faces disaster and the realm teeters on the brink, everyone is astonished to discover that the only one who can save it is the prince consort, with his Midas touch.
