I Transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty and Became a Master

Wu Wei, 35, is a rank-and-file employee at a local government investment company in a third-tier city. He earns 6,000 yuan a month and is single. His daily life consists of being manipulated by his boss, hounded by clients to meet deadlines, and left holding the bag by his coworkers. Before he drops dead at three in the morning in the office, his last thought is: “Was this life worth it?” When he opens his eyes again, it is the Kaiyuan era of Emperor Xuanzong's reign in the Tang dynasty. His soul has transmigrated into the body of a young gentryman with the same name. He lives outside Yangzhou, has three beautiful wives and concubines, and owns land, property, and shops. He seems to have it all, but in reality, everything is a mess: the accounts are chaotic, the businesses are failing, trouble is brewing inside the household, and powerful neighbors are eyeing his holdings.

Wu Wei has no System and no golden finger, only the mind of an overworked office drone hardened by workplace abuse, and a store of knowledge from a thousand years in the future.

He uses SWOT analysis to assess the family businesses, KPIs to manage his wives, concubines, and servants, and project management to organize banquets. Applying modern business practices, he gets the farms and shops in order. He improves farm tools, streamlines processes, “writes” poetry, and “invents” little gadgets, bringing modern workplace methods to bear on life in the Tang dynasty.

When his shrewd and strong-willed principal wife begins to suspect his true identity, his sweet and innocent concubine tests his limits, and his gentle, reserved secondary wife quietly watches his every move, Wu Wei realizes that managing businesses in the Tang dynasty is easy, but winning over Tang women is hard. This is the story of a modern office drone who transmigrates to the Tang dynasty, builds a career and finds love using workplace know-how, and ultimately becomes a winner in life. Ancient and modern worlds collide, bringing endless laughs. Workplace tricks work across the ages.
