Who Says a Dandy Can't Become the Duke Who Guards the Nation?

[Transmigration + Plagiarism of Classic Works + Comedy + Multiple Heroines + Business + Court Politics]

After transmigrating to Great Jing, Lin Yanzhou became the notorious wastrel only son of the Defender General's household.

The good news: his father commanded an army, and his family was powerful and prestigious.

The bad news: his predecessor had squandered half the family fortune and, after harassing the chancellor's daughter, had been sent off with a single punch from her maid!

Taking over this mess, Lin Yanzhou had no grand ambitions. He just wanted to use memories of his past life to make some money, marry a few beautiful wives, and enjoy a comfortable life as a rich idler.

Who could have guessed that at a poetry gathering, he would casually recite a few immortal classics and earn himself the title of "Poetry Immortal"?

After that, he brewed strong liquor, refined salt, boosted commerce, and saved disaster victims...

He only wanted to make money, but the entire court was convinced he was hiding his true abilities.

He casually chatted about business, and the emperor turned his words into policies for governing the realm.

Before long, the chancellor's daughter refused to marry anyone but him, the princesses of the dynasty competed to make him their consort, and the emperor himself blocked his door, demanding that he enter government service.

Lin Yanzhou was at a loss.

I really just want to be a wastrel. Why are you all forcing me to pacify the realm?
