Machiavellianism + national style + cool writing + group portraits + soul penetration + martial arts + no system
Special soldier Zhou Xu died together with the enemy, but when he woke up, his soul traveled to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and became the third young master of the Zhou family in Hangzhou who had accomplished nothing. On the first day of time travel, he found himself lying on the bed of a strange inn, with a mysterious woman wearing a bellyband sleeping beside him. She had been drugged last night. The woman's "senior brother" broke into the house to catch her, so Zhou Xu had no choice but to jump out of the window on the third floor and escape in embarrassment.
After returning home, his father Zhou Mingyuan gave him a black iron token, revealing a secret that the Zhou family had hidden for decades: Zhou Xu's grandfather was actually the "Longevity Star" in the Tang Dynasty's delinquent organization. Now the bad commander has issued a secret order, and all bad guys are on standby to protect Li Xingyun, the last bloodline of the Li Tang royal family, at all costs.
Zhou Xu understood that if he wanted to complete the mission, he had to become stronger first. He combined the memories of the ancient martial arts family of his previous life with the martial arts of this era. He practiced hard day and night, and in three months he rose from a useless person with no power to bind a chicken to a "big star" warrior.
But getting close to Li Xingyun is the biggest problem. Zhou Xu had an idea: He is a child of a rich family, and the most indispensable thing is money, and the best friends in the world are fair-weather friends, right? He carefully created an "accidental encounter" with Li Xingyun in a restaurant, and successfully broke into his social circle.
The mission has just begun. What Zhou Xu doesn't know is that the woman with a bellyband, her senior brother, and all the forces lurking in Hangzhou City will have unpredictable intersections with him. And his biggest secret, a soul from the future, will eventually make waves in this troubled world.
