The Poor Scholar Returns as Chancellor

Emperor Leng Mingxuan of the Xuanwu Empire devoted his life to governing the country. He watched the realm flourish in peace and prosperity, and his people hailed his reign as a golden age under a benevolent ruler!

So devoted was he to his duties that he never noticed the people around him had gotten involved with his second younger brother. Worst of all, someone he had always trusted poisoned him and conspired with the enemy from within to seize the throne. As he watched the two of them whisper sweet nothings right before his eyes, he could no longer bear the shock and died in anguish...

When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in a remote village so desolate even rabbits wouldn't leave droppings there. Worse, he's in a pigsty! The mighty Emperor of the Xuanwu Empire simply cannot tolerate this...

Relying on his vast learning and formidable martial arts, he starts over from scratch, pretending to be a fool. How will he become the one and only greatest chancellor of this life?
