A Tang Dynasty Merchant’s Fortunate Son-in-Law

Modern young man Du Peng accidentally transmigrates into the body of Du He, only son of the renowned Tang Dynasty statesman Du Ruhui. After using modern CPR to save Princess Li Lizhi, also known as Princess Changle, from drowning, he somehow ends up as the son-in-law of Emperor Li Shimin. As an idle royal consort, Du Peng draws on the memories and knowledge of his future life to refine salt, brew fine liquor, found a newspaper, manufacture firearms, and open up maritime trade. With one groundbreaking invention after another, he helps the Tang Dynasty repel foreign enemies and revitalize its economy, turning it into a superpower whose influence stretches across Asia, Africa, and Europe.
