In his previous life, Zhou Zhong was involved in smuggling and tragically drowned at sea. Unexpectedly, when he woke up again, he found himself in the era of the Ming Dynasty's Zhengde period, as the son of a recently bankrupted wealthy merchant in Songjiang Prefecture. In this era, Zhou Zhong possessed an empty mansion that had been stripped of all valuable things, a timid and cowardly Aunt Wang, a fat and food-loving Steward Xu, a bankrupted elder sister who had been rejected by her prospective husband, and a four-year-old little sister, Duo'er, who had been abandoned by their mother. Additionally, he had a scholar's fame, an unmarried fiancée from a prestigious family, and a former high-ranking official turned commoner as a prospective father-in-law, along with a few close friends — these were everything Zhou Zhong possessed in this era. While eight powerful officials in the court were at odds with ministers, imposing a meaningless ban on overseas trade, officials and businessmen in the southern coastal regions colluded and smuggling ran rampant. However, these issues were temporarily irrelevant to Zhou Zhong. Utilizing his knowledge and experience from his past life, he gradually changed the dire circumstances around him. But Zhou Zhong slowly discovered that if he wanted to make a name for himself in this era, he had to go with the flow of the times and immerse himself in the booming tide of smuggling.

Dian Wei alone protected Cao Cao, charging through enemy lines and effortlessly slaying thousands of cavalry. His combat prowess is off the charts! Something doesn't seem right here. Chen Xi absentmindedly touched her feather fan and waved it casually. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and she sighed. "Is this mythology? I don't even feel normal myself."
