    I taught my wealthy wife that "hard work pays off," and she became a female billionaire; I taught my father-in-law that "lying down is justice," and he became a representative of imperial merchants; I even taught the emperor "legally slacking off," and he became a master of slacking off. I just wanted to coast through life and get divorced with severance pay, but she coldly threw a land deed at me: "Husband, this is a newly opened silk shop." A marriage of convenience that blossoms into love × a reverse "lying down" mentality × a son-in-law's rise to power. I just wanted to be a lazy bum, but she made me a legendary imperial tutor. Hard work might lead to defeat, lying down might lead to victory, but when it comes to loving you, I admit defeat. [I highly recommend this!]
