Night Watchman: From the Start, I Beheaded the Magistrate’s Spoiled Son

Ding Xiaonian transmigrates into a world called Dafeng.

He is a humble constable at the county yamen.

But his colleagues throw their weight around, the head constable is shamelessly corrupt, the county magistrate fawns on his superiors, officials of every stripe are overbearing, and nobles think nothing of ordinary people...

Ding Xiaonian grows deeply disappointed in the Dafeng Dynasty, until an upright night watchman with a silver gong appears, like a beam of light tearing through the darkness at dawn.

Workers have worker souls; work hard, and you can rise above the rest.

Night watchmen have night-watchman hearts; the job takes a single-minded soul.

Defy imperial power, fight corruption, repel foreign enemies, and keep the people safe.

Ding Xiaonian, a bronze-gong night watchman of Dafeng, is charged by imperial decree with apprehending treacherous officials.

On the night shift, have nothing to hide; in daylight, fear no night watchman.
