In his previous life, Lu Shi'an lived recklessly and squandered the family fortune, making his parents and loved ones suffer before dying miserable deaths.
When he opens his eyes again, he is fifteen once more.
His family is buried in debt, local gentry have their eyes on the family's fertile fields, and former friends keep laying traps for him and sneering from the sidelines.
The prodigal son turns over a new leaf, awakened in an instant.
His classmates invite him out for fun? He refuses.
He'll make a living through farming, study the classics, and protect the Lu family as it teeters on the brink.
Others laugh that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear?
Just watch him draw on the memories of two lifetimes to break out of his predicament, take on the powerful, and deliver a face-slapping to everyone who looked down on him.
Child student, licentiate, provincial graduate, metropolitan graduate.
From a poor scholar in a remote village, he takes one step after another into the imperial court beneath the Golden Throne.
He rises to the head of the Grand Secretariat and takes control of the court's central power.
In this life, he will repay every old debt and make amends for every wrong, one by one!
