After transmigrating into the high-martial Great Zhou, Wang Ye became the wastrel playboy everyone in the Jing’an Marquis’s household cursed.
His father showed him no affection, his stepmother poisoned him, his mother was gravely ill, and the family fortune was gone. The System awakened, and his first task was to save his mother, but that left him owing an astronomical three thousand taels of gold in medical fees. If he couldn’t pay in three days, he’d have to marry the miracle doctor’s daughter, "a woman as mighty as a mountain"!
He went after the brothers who had once been close to him, tasting the full bitterness of fickle human nature. With fists and swords, he beat them until they coughed up every last bit, principal and interest alike.
Still short on money, he heard that the Northern Marquis’s household was offering a huge sum for a live-in son-in-law. Wang Ye gritted his teeth and went.
Only to discover that it was all a scheme laid by Pei Jinyao, the Northern Marquis’s only daughter. The miracle doctor was her second uncle, the medical fees were her doing, and even his "deed of sale" had been part of her plan all along.
"You had your eye on me from the start?"
"That’s right. You came right to my door."
On his wedding day, he punched his half-brother flying and forced his own father back with a single sword strike. His achievement of the Condensing Meridian Realm before the age of twenty stunned everyone.
From then on, the capital, Tianjing, had a son-in-law who refused to play by the rules.
By day, he lived off his wife. By night, he practiced divine arts. The Wind-Chasing Sword Art, Black Tortoise Heaven-Crushing Fist, Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens, Four Symbols Mountain-Suppressing Scripture... peerless techniques came easily to him.
Some said he was just a man living off a woman.
Then he split open the city gates with one sword and smashed the fighting stage to pieces with one punch.
Only then did the entire capital, Tianjing, suddenly realize:
This son-in-law was not to be trifled with.
Living off your wife while still standing tall: that’s the real skill.
