Great Tang: Sentenced to Execution from the Start

"Chen Xinping, you defiled young women, molested widows, and harassed respectable women! You're worse than a beast and must be beheaded in public!"

Wait, that's not right. How did I, a respected lawyer, become this kind of person in a dream? No, this isn't me. Even in a dream, this can't be right!

"My lord, I never did any of those things!"

"You shameless lecher, still trying to argue? Guards, slap him!"

The pain in his face and the taste of blood in his mouth made Chen Xinping realize something was seriously wrong.

This wasn't a dream!

This wasn't a dream!!

Most importantly, he was about to be beheaded in public.

"No, my lord, you've wronged me!"

"Every criminal dragged before the yamen claims to be innocent. Take him to the execution ground and behead him in public!"

What was going on?

Other people started out as emperors and chancellors. How had he ended up getting his head chopped off?

No, he absolutely couldn't let this happen!
