Nine Transmigrations, Nine Miserable Lives: The Tenth Lord Becomes a Taoist

Lu Xiaochuan’s first nine transmigrations could be called “a greatest-hits collection of human misfortune.”

On his first transmigration, he was full of lofty ambitions, ready to use modern knowledge to make his mark in ancient times. But just after he presented the county magistrate with an “improved papermaking method,” he was branded a demon and tied to a post to be burned.

On his second try, he learned his lesson and decided to keep a low profile, living as a wealthy man in the Tang dynasty. After finally building up his fortune, the An Lushan Rebellion broke out, and he was killed by the rebel army, who took him for a rich landowner.

From his third life through his eighth, he tried being a general, a scientist, an artist, and even a cultivator. Every time, he either died a gruesome death or accomplished nothing. The worst was his ninth life. After maintaining his virginity and cultivating for seven hundred years until he reached the Golden Core stage, he was finally ready to descend the mountain and make a name for himself. But he slipped and fell while using the toilet before leaving, went into cultivation deviation, and exploded.

With a head full of useless life experience, he transmigrated back to 1995 for the tenth time, into Class Three, Grade Ten. He slapped the desk and declared, “This time, I’m becoming a Taoist priest!”
