Synopsis

[Historical farming + transmigration power fantasy + court intrigue + a crooked county magistrate]

After transmigrating to the Ming dynasty as a seventh-rank county magistrate, Chen An is panicking. No wonder no one wants to be an official under this butcher Zhu!

So he shows up at the office on time, clocks out on time, and treats his job like a shift. In his spare time, he does business with merchants, makes some silver, and enjoys the good life.

That is, until one day, Zhu Yuanzhang arrives in Jiangning County.

“How dare you! I, the emperor, stay up every night reviewing memorials, while you, a mere county magistrate, neglect your duties? That's a capital offense!”

“And you dare do business with merchants? Collusion between officials and merchants! You'll be skinned alive and stuffed with grass!”

“Wait, you made a hundred thousand taels in one day? Biao'er, bring out all the silver in the treasury and do business with Chen An...”

Any BE Novels That Make You Think?

I want something with a fairly smooth plot (I don't care about the writing, as long as it's not all tired cliches), where the characters don't suffer just for the sake of it and the story has a broader perspective. In the end, the protagonist should either commit suicide or be killed by someone else due to some other force beyond their control.
