After dying suddenly, Tang Jiuwen transmigrated to ancient times with an autopsy room and became a village butcher. Butchering pigs was a piece of cake for a modern doctoral graduate in surgery.
Then a dismemberment case took place in the village. Because his butchering skills were too good, everyone suspected him. When he saw his delicate young wife crying her eyes out, impossible to console, Tang Jiuwen accepted his fate and picked up his butcher's knife to prove his innocence.
Later, whenever his young wife saw him pick up the butcher's knife, her eyes would light up. "Husband, are you butchering a pig or solving a case today?"
The rakish son of a duke heard that he had picked up the butcher's knife and eagerly asked, "Jiuwen, are we carving up a pig or examining a corpse today?"
Even the emperor, upon hearing that Tang Jiuwen had picked up his butcher's knife, repeatedly ordered his eunuchs to find out what was happening, secretly anticipating another bizarre case.
Tang Jiuwen's mouth twitched. He just wanted to say, "You people have some seriously strange tastes!"
Later on, with nothing but his butcher's knife, Tang Jiuwen rose through the ranks in the Great Xia dynasty and went down in history.

Coming soon: Kangxi's Merchant Wife
Blurb:
Li Hanzhang is renowned in the capital for her beauty. Not only is she stunning, she also knows how to make money. She's a famous female tycoon in the Forbidden City, as well as a confirmed spinster. Her family has sinister plans, and her father even threatens to kill himself to get his hands on her fortune, but she brushes it all off with a smile. That is, until she finds a handsome amnesiac and, smitten by his looks, uses threats and bribes to take him as her live-in son-in-law.
In his previous life, Kangxi sat on the throne and worked diligently his entire life, afraid he might not be a good emperor and let the Grand Empress Dowager down. After his death, he was reborn and swore not only to become an emperor for the ages, but also to wield a big stick and teach his little brats what filial piety really meant. Unfortunately, a twist of fate cost him the memories of both his lives, and he became the live-in son-in-law of a merchant's daughter. Kangxi was deeply troubled, wondering how he could hide this shameful chapter of his life.
Who knew that once his identity was restored, the woman would run even faster than he did, quickly cutting ties as though he were some kind of monster.
He thought they would never see each other again, but later he heard that she had found another handsome young man. Kangxi, in the palace, couldn't sit still.
In the back courtyard, Kangxi narrowed his eyes and cornered someone, his voice hoarse. "I hear you've found yourself another handsome young man. What, are you planning to take another live-in son-in-law?"
With both hands restrained, Li Hanzhang gave him a knowing smile. "Is this the handsome young man you mean?"
Three-year-old Li Jinran strode over angrily and glared at Kangxi. "Let go of my mother!"
Kangxi was dumbfounded.
