It's not a rare occurrence, but luckily, I crossed over into the body of a nobleman's son. Unfortunately, he is only a common-born son of an elderly marquis, who holds a prominent position. With fifteen sons, he ranks twelfth in the family hierarchy, making it impossible for him to inherit the title. Among his elder brothers, some hold official positions, while others serve in the military. Unfortunately, our immediate family possesses no talent and shows no signs of improvement, relying on a meager monthly allowance of twenty taels of silver to scrape by. My mother was a concubine who passed away early, and the marquis's mansion holds no regard for us. Even the snobbish servants dare to flaunt their power in front of us.

While others who have crossed over try to develop businesses, our elderly marquis strictly forbids his descendants from engaging in commerce. Shall we wait until the marquis passes away, only to be driven out by our brothers, each given a small plot of land?
