Great Tang's National Scholar: You Call This a Lackey?

Xue Qiming, a secretary, gets caught up in an investigation by the Court of Judicial Review into his superior.

To protect himself, he has to resort to some despicable tactics, such as threatening the beautiful Su Qing and acting as a lackey for the new county magistrate…

What? The new magistrate is a woman?

The capitalists of ancient times really don’t treat people like people. Xue Qiming grimaces. “Anyway, I’m done with this. I want to go home!”

The new magistrate, Mr. Li, looks up and fixes Xue Qiming with a serious gaze, speaking one word at a time: “Denied!”

The great Confucian Yu Shinan respectfully says, “Your Majesty, I will not avoid recommending a relative. My last disciple, Xue Qiming, is a great talent of our time and worthy of an important post!”

In the jail, Xue Qiming wears heavy shackles and lies on a tattered straw mat, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

“If you want to live with dignity, you have to rise above others. Not just above women, but men too!”
