【A transmigrated, career-obsessed, adored-by-all, handsome gong VS a beautiful, love-struck, jealous, clingy, possessive shou】
Du Baicheng, a finance magnate and total workaholic, transmigrates by accident into the body of a sickly, poor scholar.
As soon as he begins to make a name for himself, Wu Ye, the young master of Nanzhou’s richest family, forces him into marriage and makes him join the family.
The first day after the wedding
Wu Ye lays out piles of gold and silver treasures, along with his earnest heart, and carefully offers them to Du Baicheng with both hands. “Let’s make a good life together. Everything I have will be yours.”
Du Baicheng covers his lips and coughs lightly. He has no interest in Wu Ye’s fortune or in living off someone else. He tramples that worthless, sincere heart underfoot, too. Rather than enjoy an easy life, he devotes himself to building his own career.
The first year after the wedding
Du Baicheng successfully brings an array of delicious, novel soy products to the emperor’s table, rising to become the imperial court’s favored merchant.
The second year after the wedding
Du Baicheng becomes a major player in the salt fields spanning ten miles. His businesses spread across the six prefectures of Jiangnan, and he easily knocks the Wu family off its throne to become Nanzhou’s richest man.
The third year after the wedding
Du Baicheng plants his merchant banners throughout the land, rising to become the richest man in Jiangnan. Everyone who sees him calls him “Lord Du, God of Wealth.”
After that
Du Baicheng establishes banks, introduces paper money, and expands his trade all the way to the frontier. Naturally, he becomes the “Sage of Commerce, Du,” whose wealth rivals that of the nation.
They say his residence rivals the Heavenly Palace, and even the emperor insists on staying there during his southern tours.
Merchants across the land compete to build shrines and temples in his honor, placing portraits of Du Baicheng on their altars. As they bow and burn incense day after day, they can’t help but wonder aloud:
“At Lord Du’s level of wealth, surely he has nothing left to worry about?”
*
Du Baicheng, whose wealth rivals that of the nation and who is believed to have nothing left to worry about, is currently pinned against the corner of the bed by his husband, whose eyes are red and whose round, soft belly is enormous.
“Du Baicheng, apart from the babies in my belly, I have nothing left to give you.”
“If you still don’t want me, believe me, I’ll take several lives with me when I die! I’ll die right in front of you!”
Wu Ye’s expression is sinister, his voice trembling, his fine white teeth clenched tight. He looks like a vengeful ghost ready to take someone’s life at any moment.
Du Baicheng furrows his brow.
Wu Ye’s tears fall, and he really does turn to go die!
Du Baicheng sighs and pulls his husband, who has grown more possessive and insecure during pregnancy, into his arms. He pats his bottom and says, “You’re pregnant. Don’t make a scene.”

Theme: A career-obsessed workaholic is hard to win over.
Ning Youming really deserved to be beaten, but Wu Ye still had to be beaten if he found out.
According to Du Baicheng's temperament, he wants to marry himself, so the more he is hindered, why not marry him [laughing and crying]
I advise this group of losers to quickly bless this little baby and stop struggling needlessly hehehe [poor]
Oh my god, are we finally going to get married? I guess Wu Ye wouldn't even dare to think about it [laughing and crying] [rainbow fart]
Boss, have you ever considered writing food articles~
We, Wu Ye, are the best at being cold-faced [Cai Dog]
I started to go crazy without my husband by my side [laughing and crying]
Du Baicheng: Isn't it up to me to decide who I want to marry?
I feel that this marriage must be like Tang Monk's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He had to encounter countless demons and monsters along the way, and only after a lot of twists and turns could he obtain the true scriptures. After all, Du's charm is so great that Wu Ye's love rival would be like a stumbling block on the way to seek Buddhist scriptures after passing one level and another 😂
Please update quickly. I really want to see the follow-up [shy][shy][shy]
