Starting with a Forced Marriage to a Beauty: How I Used Modern Wisdom to Fight Corruption and Rise to Power

share time: 2025-12-24 00:33:26

Modern office worker Lin Chuan accidentally travels to ancient times after staying up late for overtime. He wakes up to find himself pushed into a wedding sedan, forced to marry Su Muyan—the "husband-killing" daughter of a minister. But when he lifts her veil, he’s stunned by her breathtaking beauty: skin like jade, eyes like frosty stars! Before he can process his "married" status, the county magistrate arrives with a fake land deed, trying to seize the Su family’s land. Lin uses modern legal knowledge to expose the plot, revives the Su family’s silk shop with a live-stream-inspired "limited-edition" strategy, and solves the county treasury theft using fingerprint identification,打脸ing corrupt officials one by one. Su Muyan, initially cold to him, is gradually moved by his wit and justice—from sleeping in separate rooms to making ginger tea for him and even taking an arrow to protect him. When the magistrate’s backer, the prefect, retaliates with soldiers, Lin must protect his lover and the oppressed people. Can he use modern wisdom to rise as a powerful lord who can stand against the powerful nobles?
