Li Zheng, a history teacher, transmigrates to the Tang dynasty during the Zhenguan era and awakens an online shopping System. In the Great Tang, he uses the art of buying low and selling high to put his business acumen to work as a swindling merchant.
What? A glass cup that costs 9.9 yuan with free shipping can sell for a fortune? A single glass bead can be traded for a pound of gold?
Li Zheng just says, "That's nothing."
He tinkers with this and that, making gunpowder, glass, perfume, and more, earning a fortune. Li Shimin and the other ministers all marvel at what a business genius he is.
Tuyuhun invades? I'll wipe you out with gunpowder! Those Japanese pirates are asking for trouble? I'll use pyramid schemes to make life hell for your people! Wu Meiniang is too beautiful? I'll use my charms to win her over!
All the wealth in the realm flows toward Li Zheng. I'm the greatest swindling merchant under heaven!
