A relaxing story of a business tycoon who, sick of machinations and struggle, returned to the medieval world and married into a merchant family to become a “zhui xu,” a husband that lives in the wife’s home. Even though his intentions were not so, he could not avoid the matters of family, country and world.
There was once a person that stood at the top of the golden pyramid,
with the innumerable cheap jealousy and envy of people,
he walked this road escorted by tens of thousands of people,
yet he could not escape the long and lonely sleep under the gravestone. ”

If i had to rate this (experience from audiobook)
First arc 5/5
Maybe next 200 episodes 4/5
200 episodes+ 2/5
The one thing that bothers me the most is how the MC promised his wife that it will just be the two of them.
He then proceeds to flirt and capture every standout female.
This story would be much better without the harem aspect, it is quite forced and gets in the way. Devalues all the previously time spent on building the personalities of the first 2-3 arcs.
The story makes the MC way too perfect. Cannot stand a man that can’t keep to his word, but still tries to act like a gentleman.
I stopped around episode 800~, cannot force myself to listen anymore.
