The Unlucky Fool Becomes a Judge in Ancient Times

A bolt of heavenly lightning sends Li Xiaosi to an unknown ancient world, where he's tasked with making a name for himself in the history books.

Why should he do what he's told? Just as he's about to say something nasty, another bolt of lightning booms overhead. Fine, he's the most obedient, well-behaved little darling there is.

But after all the bad luck he had in the modern world, will things really go any better here?

He looks back at his name. It just doesn't suit him. It brought him years of misfortune, so he changes it to Li Tingshu. From then on, wherever he goes, his fortunes rise.

The System is lousy too, but it protects him every step of the way. Is this some kind of lucky-charm System?

Later, hands on his hips, he points to the heavens and declares: “Only children have to choose. I'm all grown up, so I want both money and power.”

But please, don't let me get rich and promoted only to lose my wife!

As it turns out, just after he becomes the top scholar, the powers that be change.

His friend, who was stabbed in the back, flees overnight with him. Gasping as he runs, Li Tingshu still tries to keep his friend alert: “Xiaoyu, don't fall asleep. Talk to me!”

The person on his back seems to be fading. “I'm so tired. Keep running, and never come back. Take good care of Xiaoyi.”

“Don't you dare!” He refuses to believe that even with the System, he can't keep his friend safe.
