The Carefree Man of Great Feng

The Great Feng Dynasty, the thirty-sixth year of Emperor Chong's reign.

Jiang Chen was reborn into a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan, becoming a good-for-nothing playboy despised by everyone.

He used cowpox to prevent smallpox, impressed great scholars with his brilliant writing, and defeated Japanese pirates with the Mandarin Duck Formation...

From a worthless good-for-nothing to a phoenix among men.

Though he lived in the martial world, he was renowned far and wide. He conversed with eminent scholars, and no commoners ever crossed his threshold.

Now Emperor Chong was old, and undercurrents churned in court. The princes all coveted the throne, unaware that a man in Jiangnan, with the watchful eyes of an eagle and the cunning of a wolf, saw the throne as something he could seize with ease.
