Introduction
When the Immortal Emperor Carlos Shen died, he never expected his soul to be transported to Earth and inhabiting the body of someone who shared his name. Despite accepting this new vessel, he refused to accept the original owner's life and personality. Instead, he focused on improving his cultivation and merging it with his new identity. But challenges lurked around every corner in this unfamiliar world - the truth behind his parents' death, the consortium's thirst for revenge, and the grudges held by secular cultivation sects. Unknowingly, he found himself at the center of a brewing storm, with danger closing in from all sides.

Chapter

The drenched Carlos Shen was pulled out of the water by a servant, with moss still sticking to his hair. 

The rest of the servants were all snickering with their hands over their mouths, and there were a few of Carlos's cousins standing next to them.

Carlos struggled to cough up the lake water that had gotten into his lungs before he came back to his senses. He had been practicing the Great Dream Way in the Immortal World when he tipped over the edge of sanity in the realm "Southland Dream". Having lost consciousness, he was now dead.

He didn't expect his soul to have traveled to Earth and was now inhabiting the body of Carlos Shen, who shared the same name with him. But how did he end up in the water? Wait...

After reading his memory, Carlos was so angry that he almost swore.

Carlos, the owner of this body, was the only son of the Shen family's third branch. His parents had died, and he was the only one who assuming the position of the third branch.

He had been timid, cowardly, and weak ever since he was a child. Ever since his parents passed away, he no longer had any safeguard and had been relegated to the butt of the family's joke, a good-for-nothing and a wussy. Not only had he failed to secure the good graces of his elders, but he had also been humiliated by his cousins.

Two years ago, under the matchmaking of the parents of both sides, Carlos married her goddess Serene Lan. The Lans was, in fact, repaying his parents' kindness with marriage. 

On their wedding night, Serene forced Carlos to sign a five-year agreement. If she did not give birth to a child for the Shen family within five years and did not fall in love with him, then he must return her her freedom.

Unfortunately, Carlos liked Serene and was obedient to her, never daring to disobey her. But after being married for about two years, they had never slept together even once. Serene did not allow Carlos to get close to her at all. Where was their child going to come from?

"Heavens above, this is a tragedy if I've ever seen one! I should at least have been reborn into a more promising body!" After Carlos finished reading his host's memory, his heart was filled with grief and indignation, blaming the heavens for being blind.

A few minutes ago, the original host had been drowned to death by his several cousins, and it was the other Carlos, carrying the memories of the Immortal World, who had been revived. Although he was reborn, all his previous cultivation had been reduced to nothing!

Carlos didn't pay attention to his cousins and servants who were laughing at him. He felt that his body was too weak. He didn't even have the physical quality of a young man in his prime and was nothing more than a sitting duck. 

Fortunately, the Miracle Immortal Void was reborn as well, but he did not have enough power to activate it. All kinds of techniques, experiences, pill formulas, and knowledge from his previous life were still in his mind. However, there was not the slightest bit of spells that could be used.

Standing up, Carlos removed the moss from his head. He glanced at his cousins and the servants who were secretly laughing and was about to leave.

Fabian of the second branch family blocked the way and said arrogantly, "Leaving so soon, Carlos? Are you not going to apologize to us?"

How funny, he thought, the victim of a bully was forced to apologize to the bully. "You—" But his body instinctively faltered and he could not say another word.

"Don't 'you' me, you wussy. You fell into the water and scared the life out of us. Shouldn't you apologize?" Fabian was staring Carlos down.

"Apologize, my foot! I'm afraid you've done it on purpose. You must think that if I drop dead, the Shen family's business will be yours to take!" Carlos held Fabian's gaze, stepped forward, and said fluently.

That kind of momentum actually made Fabian take a step back. For the first time, he was a little timid.

Right then, several servants blocked the way as usual, and looked at Carlos like a dog.

"Mr. Carlos, you haven't apologized to the young masters yet!" joked one of the servants.

After giving the servant a loud slap in the face, Carlos kicked his crotch, causing him to squat down in pain.

Carlos may be weak, but a slap or a kick was within his means. 

"It's all of you against one of me! No matter what, I'm still your Third Young Master! Now get out of my way!"

The servants were stunned, but they didn't dare to fight back. They couldn't help but make way for him.

Carlos left in a carefree manner. For the first time, he did not apologize. For the first time, he talked back to them. For the first time, he hit his servants and ignored all of them.

His cousins and servants were all bewildered. Was the Third Young Master of the Shen family going to turn his life around? The new Carlos was different. Before falling into the water he had begged for mercy, but after choking on the water he was now a changed man.

Carlos thought, "Since this is the arrangement of the Natural Law, I can only put up with this body! Since I'm reborn, I'll give this body a different life!"

At the same time, he inherited all the memories and knowledge of this body. Although Carlos was helpless, he quickly accepted the reality.

He quickly walked past the bluestone road of the Shen family's courtyard and returned to his room according to his memory.

The Shen family's courtyard was a big traditional house. The three brothers of the Shen family lived here. In modern society, anyone who still retained a penchant for a traditional architectural layout was either a rich family or a family obsessed with the ancient past. Obviously, the Shen family belonged to the former.

Benjamin, the old master of the Shen family, had traveled all over the country in his early years. He had established a huge Shen Group in Milany City, and his business was all over the country. However, Benjamin was an old-fashioned, nostalgic, and traditionalist.

Serene once said, "A feudal family is nothing but a bullsh*t tradition!"

"This woman is very interesting. Her personality is even more adamant than Fairy Suanne in the Immortal World!" All kinds of things about Serene kept appearing in Carlos's mind.

While he had accepted all the emotions of this body, he could not accept the cowardice and wretchedness of this body.

"Carlos! Stop! You're fooling around again." A beautiful woman with white skin and black hair frowned. This was Carlos's wife, Serene!

Her eyes were full of helplessness and disappointment, as well as some complaints. "Pull yourself together! No matter what, we are still husband and wife in name. You should at least let me have some dignity!"

Carlos instinctively trembled, his body filled with fear and worry. "Calm down, Serene. I... I was pushed into the water by them. I wasn't fooling around!"

Carlos then despised the pathetic nature of the owner of his body. 

"You have all the time in the world and nothing better to do. You're the perfect target. What do you expect? Carlos, this is a realistic society. Without any ability, you are just a piece of trash. Although you're the only son of the third branch of the Shen Group who will inherit the assets of your parents in the future, if you don't get your life together, they will suck you dry sooner or later!"

"Serene, it's not what you think."

"Carlos, Carlos. You just don't know what's best for yourself, do you? Go and get a job. Try your best. Your parents suddenly passed away. Don't tell me that you don't..."

Serene trailed off. She said to herself with disappointment, "Why do I care? I am just a passer-by. I can't help you if you don't want to be helped!"

It was no wonder that Serene looked down on Carlos. It turned out that his predecessor was so unbearable. What an insult to the name "Carlos Shen"!

"There are still two and a half years left, aren't there? My dear, I will make you change your mind!" Carlos smiled, straightened up, and promised.

Serene was stunned. In her impression, Carlos had always been cautious, timid, and even afraid to speak loudly, for fear of scaring her. But today?

"Stop! I never said you could address me as 'my dear'! Carlos, we are bound by an agreement!" Serene protested loudly.

"Why can't I? There is no such rule in the agreement. Since you married me, you're my dear wife, Carlos's woman!" Carlos boldly sidled up to her and said firmly in her ear.

His lips almost touched her earlobe, and the heat made her a little flustered.

"Carlos, you..." For the first time in two years, he had thoroughly discombobulated her. He dared to set aside her "good-intention persuasion" and teased her. 

"Don't be afraid, my dear. The agreement is still valid. In these two years, you only need to keep being my wife and I will make you change your mind! I will make you fall in love with a scum like me!" Carlos narrowed his eyes, his tone confident.
