Desperate and jobless, Qu Qing signed a \"fraudulent\" contract: live ten years in ancient times for a million-dollar payout. He thought it was a scam, until he woke up in a crumbling shack, dirt-poor, and with a new identity as a village gangster. The \"contract\" was real, but his \"private manor\" was a ruin, and his \"beautiful partner\" was Hua Zizhou, an \"ugly ger\" scorned by society, forcibly married to him, bringing a child with \"monster\" eyes. The catch? No magic, no system. Just his wits and grit. Can a modern man survive the crushing poverty, defy ancient prejudice, and transform a forced family into his greatest fortune, all while building an empire by hand to fulfill a bizarre, ten-year contract?
