Lin Pan only wanted to give Her Majesty the Empress a bath, but somehow transmigrated to the Republic of China era.
He wakes up in a coffin with no money in his pocket and nothing in his stomach. His original body belonged to a poor scholar who had starved to death.
Luckily, the Heaven Rewards Diligence System activates right on time. Painting, calligraphy, massage, fitness: he can level up his proficiency in any skill!
To earn enough to eat, he paints Western beauties for Qing-dynasty nobles. One painting sells for the astronomical price of 200 silver dollars, and from then on he thrives in the southern part of Yanjing.
Zhen Jie, the top courtesan at Baihua House; Bai Yuting, the top supporter; Cui Xiaobian, a Green Gang boss; the miracle doctor Xi Laile; Luotuo Xiangzi; Gong Baosen... all sorts of characters take turns appearing.
Buying a house, hiring servants, fighting eunuchs, studying medicine, learning martial arts... He lives a truly colorful life.
Watch as an ordinary wage slave, greedy and lecherous but not entirely without a conscience, gets by on wealthy patrons, makes money, and lives it up in the chaotic Republic of China!
