The First Rich Scoundrel

After dying from overwork, Su Xun transmigrates into a wealthy scoundrel from Yangzhou. Accused and nearly exiled, his family sacrifices everything to save him. Using modern knowledge, he refines salt, partners with the Luo family for profit, and shines in a poetry competition with legendary verses. He expands his business empire through pastries and brewing, quickly restoring the family fortune. When the Long family colludes with bandits and White Lotus cultists to suppress him, he unites with the official army to crush them and uncover the truth behind the frame-up. While the Su family arranges a marriage alliance with the Luo family, Su Xun insists on marrying his loyal maid, Rou'er, and continues to build his commercial empire.
