A Charlatan in Great Tang: From the Start, I Stripped Li Shimin Bare

Others who transmigrate to the Tang Dynasty

Either become officials or go into business.

Yang Ye only wants to set up as a fortune-teller on the streets of Chang’an,

use his System to farm on the side,

and take care of his little sister.

But then...

Li Shimin bets against him and loses ten strings of cash;

Changsun Wuji doubts him, only to have the facts slap him in the face;

the prefect of Jingzhao tries to arrest him and force a confession,

but the very next day he has to kneel outside the prison and personally beg Yang Ye to come out!

A casual remark from him sets the Tang Dynasty’s national policy;

a potato he gives away on a whim becomes a miracle crop that ends famine;

a treatise on governance he writes out of boredom is revered as the gold standard by Li Shimin!

When a fortune-teller gains Lü Bu’s combat strength,

when Li Shimin begs him to become the empire’s divine protector,

when Yuan Tiangang kneels and begs to become his disciple,

Yang Ye is instead calculating to himself:

Today’s fortune-telling fees

should be enough to buy his little sister a new hairpin.
