After a freak accident transmigrates Xiao Ning into the Great Jing Dynasty as the disgraced live-in son-in-law of the Su family, he revolutionizes the empire with forgotten arts, transforming tea into ambrosia and turning wine into liquid gold. As commoners clamor for his creations, he shatters conventions by founding the realm's first newspaper, rallying geniuses to empower a princess's political ascent. When merchant queens sneer and his former wife scorns him, Xiao Ning wields commerce as his blade-severing deep-rooted prejudices while carving a legend from scorn. (Source: WeTV) Edit Translation

A SIMPLE AND SWEET STORYLINE, I LIKE THE MAIN ACTOR AND ACTRESS, HANDSOME AND PRETTY, CLEVER AND KIND HEARTED, AND THE CHARACTER OF XIAO NING'S FATHER IS SO FUNNY TOO, WITH HIS FUNNY FACE AND BODY, EVENTHOUGH XIAO NING IS SOMEONE WHO TIME TRAVELL FROM THE FUTURE, BUT HE'S NOT THINKING TO GO BACK TO THE FUTURE, BUT CHOOSE TO STAY IN THE ANCIENT TIME TO BE WITH PRINCESS AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER, NICE&SWEET ENDING

Guilty Pleasure

Light-hearted Transmigration Story.
Where MC utilises his modern knowledge to improve his situation and combat corruption.

Even though it has the usual tropes, it is executed well and is a very fun and satisfying watch.

Hope more of these stories are produced in full length format.

You will also find a contender for the most SHAMELESS character in all of Drama in this one too. LOL.

Like this review, Short and Sweat, give the show a watch, you won't regret!
