Cheng Qian, a supermarket owner, transmigrates into the body of a spendthrift in ancient times, who has gambled away the family fortune and mortgaged the ancestral home. Just as debt collectors are about to sell him to a broker, he hurries to use his discerning eye to make money and buy back the house.
While digging for medicinal herbs in the mountains, he finds a down-and-out young nobleman and takes him home. The young nobleman kneels at his feet, meekly asking to become his servant and repay his kindness.
Fine. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, keeping a delicate beauty around is just one more place at the table.
He just doesn't expect the delicate beauty to be so hopelessly clumsy... He either blows up the kitchen while cooking or breaks the hoe while farming. Yet wherever this young man wanders in the mountains, tigers inexplicably fall to their deaths. The awful relatives he tries to reason with mysteriously end up ruined, and every lawsuit he handles as a legal advocate ends in victory.
As a modern straight man who would run a mile at the sight of a danmei novel, he seems to have developed indescribable feelings for this young man...
"Xiao Yu, what do you think of this jade pendant?"
"Is this pendant just for me, or do the other young masters get one too?"
"Just you..."
"You're the best, husband. If we work together, we can make a fortune."
Later, with the help of the System, they successfully open a supermarket. Cheng Qian becomes the richest merchant in the land, and the supermarket expands into other countries. Just as Cheng Qian thinks he can finally enjoy the rest of his life in peace, Bai Shi, who has shared both hardship and joy with him, leans over him and whispers into his ear:
"Husband, you may not be able to rest just yet. I was only recently made Crown Prince, and the State of Qi still needs infrastructure. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Why is your wrist bangle gone?"
"You mean that thing I had someone make a copy of? If you like it, husband, I've got a whole pile in storage."
"So you're not a young man after all!" (Eyes wide with shock)
"Whether I am or not, husband, why don't you find out for yourself?" (Tugging down his pants)
An honest, down-to-earth transmigrator bottom x a scheming, tea-flavored top who pretends to be anything and everything
Supermarket owner Cheng Qian & drama-loving prince and legal advocate Bai Shi
P.S. Happy ending, one-on-one romance.
Neither of them is a young man. Bai Shi is pretending. No children. The focus is on building a career.
Completely fictional setting, no need to check historical details.
