My Wife Is a Future Big Shot

[Slice of Life] [Slow Burn] [One Female Lead]

Lu Shiyan, an ordinary young man from the modern world, unexpectedly transmigrates to the end of the Great Ning dynasty. He becomes a down-and-out scholar in Qingxi County, penniless and buried in debt. With no System or pocket dimension, all he can rely on is his modern knowledge, far ahead of its time, and his egalitarian, clear-eyed outlook.

With nowhere else to turn, he rescues Su Wanli, a timid, lowly orphan who has been abandoned by her family and tormented at every turn. The two become work partners and squeeze into a dilapidated thatched hut to survive. Lu Shiyan rejects the era's prejudices of male superiority, patiently protecting the young woman as he teaches her to read, write, and do arithmetic, broadening her horizons and gradually healing the wounds in her heart. No one knows that this timid girl is actually the last survivor of a powerful aristocratic clan, with a brilliant head for business and a rare talent for political strategy. Years of hardship have simply kept her brilliance hidden.
