After transmigrating to ancient times, Chen Qian became a low-ranking ninth-grade county magistrate in Yunyang County.
He had thought he would enjoy three years as an honest county magistrate and leave with a hundred thousand taels of silver. Instead, his predecessor had been so corrupt and greedy that he had died of exhaustion. Powerful court officials out of office pressured him relentlessly, while a retired chancellor enjoyed his peaceful retirement.
Determined to make something of his life, Chen Qian cut costs and boosted revenue. Before he knew it, he had turned tiny Yunyang County into the top county in Great Xia, and risen from a lowly ninth-grade official to the imperial court and the frontier.
He became the first ninth-grade official in history to achieve such greatness.
The first two chapters were okay, but the rest of it felt weird. The more I read, the more confused I became. I couldn't get into the plot. Personal opinion.
It's been vague since the fourth chapter, and it's totally confusing to read and understand. I know every word, but I just don't know what it's about.
