Seriously Perfection
Before we start, don't watch this show for historical accuracy. That wasn't what the show was originally intended for.
And...to the spoiler free review and summary.
A successful business man named JiangHaoChen time travelled to a historical world called WuChao (which doesn't exist in Chinese history. Hence, why you shouldn't watch it for historical reasons).
He woke up in the body of a man named NingYi who was about to get married to a woman named SuTan'er.
Because business women were despised and women "took" their husband's name when they got married. Instead of marrying into a man's family, she married him into her family to allow herself a chance to run the family business of selling cloth.
He helps her, and using modern methods, achieved great success.
Sure, you may need a little background in Chinese culture and history to understand certain parts. For example, the concept of marriage and also the Imperial governmental systems.
However...
It's absolutely hilarious and the pacing is amazing. 36 episodes, so it's not too long or too short. A little warning is that this show will play with your emotions in the last 10 episodes or so.
Honestly one of the absolute best dramas I have watched!
