Chinese Name: 赘婿
Summary: The story follows Ning Yi, a modern-day business tycoon who, exhausted by corporate machinations, transmigrates into the body of a weak scholar in a medieval world. He becomes a "zhui xu," a husband living in his wife’s merchant family, the Su household, intending to lead a relaxed, carefree life. However, Ning Yi’s intelligence, modern knowledge, and cunning draw him into family disputes, business rivalries, and broader political and military conflicts. Initially posing as a "salted fish" (slacker), he gradually reveals his talents as a scholar, strategist, and martial artist, earning the nickname "Heart Demon" in the Jianghu (martial world) and "King Killer" due to pivotal actions (spoilers omitted). The narrative spans wuxia-style battles, intricate political schemes, large-scale wars, and philosophical reflections, with Ning Yi navigating alliances, rebellions, and personal relationships. The story also delves into side characters’ arcs, enhancing the world-building with tales of love, tragedy, and ambition.
