His Wife, His Rise

Lu Zhun travels back in time and becomes a useless legitimate son of the Da Yong Dynasty, forced by his stepmother into marriage with the Wu family. At the wedding, he kicks over a brazier and publicly challenges them, forming an alliance with the 'sickly and ugly' Wu Zhaozhao to expose the Wu family's secrets. Using modern wisdom, he gradually secures rights for his wife and mother, recruits County Magistrate Zhou Cungan, befriends Zhu Yizhi, invests in a mountain stronghold, and takes control of the Wu family's enterprises. Ultimately, he is enfeoffed as the Marquis of Yongning County, eliminates rivals, and establishes a secure future.
