Synopsis

Zhan Hong Tu, a hairdresser, was struck by a falling signboard—ironically inscribed with the phrase “Grand Ambitions”—and transported to another era. He awoke in the body of a good-for-nothing, matrilocal husband of the Su family. In an age where everyone wore their hair long, Zhan Hong Tu feared he would be utterly useless—but fate had other plans for this hairdresser! When the Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty issued a public reward for anyone capable of creating the “foreign-style” curls seen among travelers from afar, Zhan Hong Tu stepped up. Using nothing but a pair of heated iron tongs, he crafted a voluminous, chic, wavy hairstyle for the Princess—earning him a grand, high-profile escort back to the Su family estate. His fiancée, Su Xing Wan, and his three future sisters-in-law all held deep prejudices against him. Yet, with his insatiable love for money and his slick, quick-witted nature, Zhan Hong Tu leveraged his unique “wash, cut, and style” skills—along with his masterful sales pitches for “salon memberships”—to not only thrive in this ancient world but also uncover, through his extensive network, the true culprit behind the ruin and destruction of the Su family.
