Ning Bei, a modern overworked office worker, wakes up to find he has transmigrated into the Ming dynasty as a low-ranking Imperial Guard officer! The moment he opens his eyes, his superior Zhao Hu pins him to the ground and beats him mercilessly. The previous owner of this body didn’t know his place and offended Song Tie, the Minister of Rites’ son. He brought it entirely on himself!
At this critical moment, the “Death-Seeking System” roars to life: the bolder he is about challenging authority and defying common sense, the more outrageous the rewards!
From then on, the Ming bureaucracy has a new troublemaker who drives everyone up the wall.
Whenever the commander Li Jie hears his name, he sighs. “Knowing you has brought me eight lifetimes of bad luck! You’re causing trouble and courting death every single day, yet you’re so tough you can still solve cases. I’ve never had a moment’s peace!”
Offend the powerful? No problem! Courting death unlocks peerless martial arts!
Pick a fight with the Eastern Depot? Bring it on! The System hands him innate inner power as a reward! Even stunts like robbing tribute gold and mouthing off to the prime minister can help him crack major cases and get promoted!
Ning Bei: “Courting death is fun for a while, but doing it forever is even better!”
Everyone else: “Please, just act like a normal person! Keep this up and you’ll throw the whole Ming dynasty into chaos!”
