Transmigrating to Great Qian: I Shock the Empress with Riddles

After transmigrating to the Great Qian dynasty, Lin Chen discovers that he has no money and is buried in gambling debts. Luckily, he binds himself to the Riddle King System: solve riddles and turn his life around!

While everyone else composes poetry, he uses modern-style lantern riddles to stump the ancient scholars and leave the emperor in disguise laughing and fuming at the same time.

At the Lantern Festival riddle contest, he takes on Su Wenyuan, head of the Riddle Pavilion. With the line "A cannon silences the sea-facing tower," he answers the age-old couplet, "Smoke locks the willows by the pond," stunning the literary world!

Fragments of the Imperial Jade Seal conceal secrets about the kingdom's dragon veins. Powerful clans watch hungrily, while envoys from neighboring lands use riddles to provoke the court.

With the System in hand and riddles as his blade, Lin Chen breaks through political deadlocks and protects his homeland. He rises from a scholar of humble origins to become the nation's Grand Riddle Master. Together with the emperor, he writes a hilarious and fiery legend of a golden age!
