Modern 996 The social animal Lin Yan died suddenly after staying up late at night. When he opened his eyes, he was transported into the troubled times of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, surrounded by beauties and the Central Plains were sinking. The beginning is a life-and-death decision: Either you can survive as the favorite of a powerful man, or you can marry Su Lingyue, the "Evil God's Daughter" in Huaiyuan City, and risk your life in the shadow of swords and swords that criticize beauties.
He chose the latter, but he didn't expect that this ridiculous marriage would drag him into the center of a whirlpool of water transportation hegemony, family conspiracy, and rivers and lakes fighting. The father is a careerist who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. The identity of the escort Xi'er is a mystery and he only comes for the jade pendant. And the "crazy" fiancée Su Lingyue is a ruthless and decisive behind-the-scenes player who masters the chess game.
From the chaos of Puji Flower Boat, to the life-and-death struggle between Heifeng Village and the Zhang family, to the profit-seeking stranglehold of several big families, Lin Yan originally wanted to be a fisherman, but instead became a pawn of all forces. In a troubled world where life is at stake, he loses the weakness of a modern social animal, learns martial arts from Xi'er, and learns to understand people's calculations, vowing to transform from a "son-in-law" who is at the mercy of others to a chess player who controls his own destiny.
The fight for the water transportation line, the secret of the mysterious jade pendant, the interference of third-party forces, Su Lingyue's sincerity hidden under the ruthlessness, and the blood feud carried by Xi'er... Lin Yan is at every step amidst the swords and power schemes, not only to protect the Lin family, but also to carve out his own path to the emperor in this troubled world.
When modern thinking collides with the laws of troubled times, and when the chess pieces awaken and want to master the chess game, what kind of storm will this survival in troubled times, which started with a ridiculous marriage, eventually create?
