The moment Yang Cheng opened his eyes, he had become the legitimate eldest son of the Hongnong Yang clan in the Tang Dynasty.
He thought he could spend the rest of his days surrounded by gold, silver, and beautiful women, and finally lie flat.
But the original owner had run away from home to rebel against an arranged marriage, only to starve to death outside Chang'an.
Having transmigrated into this body, Yang Cheng had no choice but to inherit all its obsessions: rely on no family, build everything from scratch, and make something of himself.
He sweet-talked Cheng Chumo, sold wine at the docks, took control of the brokerages, and manipulated silver prices, turning Chang'an upside down.
It was only when Li Er came to borrow money and Li Ke asked if he could become emperor that Yang Cheng realized he might have taken things a little too far.
