Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio: Get Stronger by Reading

[The Legend of the White Snake] [Painted Skin] [Nie Xiaoqian] [Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio] [Myths] “Books contain a thousand measures of grain, and books contain beauties like jade. Could this actually be true, rather than just a metaphor?” After waking from a deep sleep, Shen Yan discovers he has become a failed scholar from a poor family, a bookworm who knows only how to study by rote. The Great Jin Dynasty. The late emperor is dead. Vassal kings and great clans carve up the realm, while demons and foreign tribes throw the world into chaos. Above, religious sects and imperial power compete for the people's devotion. Below, those seeking magic and a new family name sell their wives and daughters. Just as the Great Jin dynasty teeters on the brink of collapse, marketing director Shen Yan transmigrates into this world, only to become embroiled in a struggle over family names. To protect himself, he must marry as soon as possible, just like his elder brother. “With female spies involved in the struggle over family names all around me, where am I supposed to find a wife?” Then one day, as Shen Yan dozes with a book in his hands at his desk, he is startled to find that the book has turned into a slender, delicate hand. “So the saying is really true: ‘Never fret over finding a matchmaker to get married, for books contain beauties like jade’?”
