In the second year of Zhenguan, with the Tang dynasty newly established, a torrential rain outside Chang'an in Weiyuan County washes away Shen Yunfeng's modern life.
When he wakes, he has somehow transmigrated to the early Tang dynasty at its height, becoming the Su family's despised live-in son-in-law. His predecessor was dim-witted and foolish, mocked by the locals, and his wife, Su Qingyue, suffered the scorn right along with him.
But no one knows that this seemingly spineless son-in-law carries a soul from a thousand years in the future.
While others toil over the rigid essays required for the imperial examinations, he dazzles Weiyuan County with poetry from later generations. While the great clans cling to old conventions, he uses modern ideas to revitalize the Su family's medicinal herb business. And while Turkic cavalry eye the realm hungrily, he quietly lays plans to fortify the foundations of the Tang dynasty.
“People laugh at me for being a son-in-law. I laugh because they can't see the truth.”
Shen Yunfeng rolls up his sleeves and starts in the study in the Su family's back courtyard. He writes poetry, builds businesses, breaks through impasses, and reshapes the realm.
See how a modern soul makes the most of the Zhenguan-era Tang dynasty, taking a good wife, building a family business, forging an empire, and living an extraordinary life in this age of prosperity!
