Rise of the Commoner: Saving the Beauty

Top negotiator Lu Yuan'an accidentally transmigrates into the Great Feng Dynasty, becoming a despised gambling scholar. His home is destitute, and his beautiful wife is about to be seized by bullies to pay off debts. Facing despair, Lu Yuan cuts down the noose he prepared and slams a knife on the table: 'No money, but I have a life! And I'll take yours!' This ruthless man, skilled in manipulating hearts, enters a feudal world of monopolistic clans and corrupt officials like a dragon plunging into the sea. The aristocratic families mock his humble origins? He excels in imperial exams, shattering their pride with his essay. The prime minister sends him to a deadly frontier? He turns the tables, eliminating local tyrants, training a private army, and exploiting mines with modern tactics. Three years later, as chaos erupts in the court, Lu Yuan leads a hundred thousand elite troops to the capital, kicks open the palace gates, and slams his bloodstained sword on the emperor's desk: 'I, Lu Yuan, have come to purge the court. Let the grand preceptor die!' A commoner who defies heaven—he won't be emperor, but even the emperor must call him 'Father.'
