The protagonist transmigrates with the Upright Official System and becomes a young boy in the capital during the Zhengde era of the Ming Dynasty.
He thought reaching the highest rank in the government was just around the corner. Little did he know that this System was practically useless...
System: "If the Host fails to fulfill his duties as an upright official, the System will assess the situation and impose a punishment. Punishment standards: refer to the first edition of the Great Ming Code, issued in the third year of the Hongwu era. Assessment standards: primarily based on the Host's career as an official, as judged by his wife, Jiang Yunshui, who despises evil. The System is about to enter sleep mode. Host, you'd better take care of yourself."
His wife, who despises evil: "If you dare become a corrupt official, I'll beat you to death with a rolling pin!"
The young boy pondered for a long time. "To hold a steady post, I need to cozy up to someone powerful. But who? In this wicked feudal society, naturally, I should cozy up to the emperor. To do that, I need to curry his favor, and that could easily turn me into a court jester..."
The young boy: "Wife... in your eyes, is a court jester a good official or a bad one?"
