Modern wage slave Jacob traveled to an ancient empire and became a cuckold who had to send even his wife, the empire's number one beauty, to curry favor with a powerful minister. Swearing never to be a doormat, Jacob staged a dramatic comeback from the very start! He raided mansions by imperial decree and amassed a fortune. In the court, wielding the emperor's token, he beheaded Lucas without hesitation and forced the arrogant Empress Dowager to slap herself. To rescue his wife being auctioned off at a brothel, he threw down his wealth, tore up her contract of sale, and won her heart. When the Empress Dowager allied with three hundred thousand barbarian troops and marched on the capital, Jacob drew blueprints for modern firearms and heavy tanks, led the people, and crushed the invaders. In the end, envoys came from every nation, the emperor begged to abdicate, and Jacob ascended the throne, ruling over all under heaven.
