A Guide to Rising Through the Ranks in the Great Ming

In the third year of Hongwu, modern auditor Li Mo transmigrates into the Ming Ministry of Revenue as a low-ranking clerk. While others have Systems, he has a phone and ten years of auditing experience, perfect for sorting out the Ming Dynasty's muddled accounts.

He spots the trick in the blank-stamped documents at a glance, then uses double-entry bookkeeping before Zhu Yuanzhang and leaves the entire court dumbfounded. Clocking in, KPI assessments, visualized reports: the modern office worker's playbook tears through the Hongwu court.

On the eve of the Hu Weiyong case, the whole court takes sides, but Li Mo chooses to save his own skin first. One test after another comes from his big boss, Zhu Yuanzhang. All he wants is to stay alive and collect his paycheck.
