[Feel-good power fantasy, play the pig to eat the tiger, comeback, outsmarting opponents, jianghu and court politics] Liu Yang, a sales star in his previous life, unexpectedly transmigrates and becomes a destitute refugee on the streets of Lingzhou, with barely enough to eat. To make a living, he sneaks into the prestigious Gu household and signs a short-term contract as a low-ranking servant.
He had planned to rely on the powerful family for a peaceful life, use his modern business sense to make a little money, and settle for a comfortable life as a wealthy retiree. But the Gu household is rife with undercurrents, and commercial rivalries close in at every turn. It is all far more complicated than he expected.
With his silver tongue and adaptable mind, he untangles the household's dilemmas and breaks deadlocks in business battles, gradually making a name for himself in Lingzhou. From the bustle of the streets to the commercial world of Jinling, from court intrigues to the smoke of battle beyond the frontier, this humble servant carves out his own path with one ingenious idea after another.
Along the way, he encounters the Gu family's aloof and proud eldest daughter, a celebrated literary talent from Lingzhou, an elusive and eccentric figure from the jianghu, and a martial arts master who has withdrawn from the world to cultivate his skills. They clash and travel together, and tender affections take root amid the bustle of everyday life.
Liu Yang looks up at the sky and sighs. “All I wanted at first was to earn enough to eat. How did I end up becoming a key player in this storm of intrigue?”
