Transmigrated as a Late Ming Censor: My First Act Is to Remonstrate to the Death

Lin Fan, a modern bit-part actor, stayed up late memorizing his lines and accidentally fell asleep, only to transmigrate to the Golden Throne Hall in the first year of Chongzhen’s reign. Still groggy with sleep, he passionately recited his lines for a martyr’s remonstrance, denouncing the emperor and impeaching the eunuch faction as he listed Wei Zhongxian’s ten great crimes! Only after finishing did he notice that the seventeen-year-old Chongzhen Emperor on the throne looked livid, and there were no cameras anywhere. He had actually become a Ming censor! With his fate seemingly sealed, Lin Fan was terrified. But just when all hope seemed lost, the young emperor unexpectedly appointed him, this “madman,” to deal with Wei Zhongxian! From then on, a modern soul who was terrified of dying but forced to act fearlessly had to rely on an actor’s instinct for disguise and his scattered knowledge of history to navigate the deadly whirlpool of the eunuch faction, the Donglin Party, and a suspicious emperor. With the nation on the brink of collapse, can he walk the tightrope between saving himself and saving the country, and turn the tide before all is lost?
