Great Qin: I Play the Contrarian

The protagonist, Qin Feng, becomes a minor official in the Great Qin Dynasty and is trapped in a deadly three-day predicament from the start. His superior persecutes him, wealthy gentry hunt him down, and Qin law is a noose around his neck.

At his darkest hour, he activates the System. As long as his complaints hit the mark, he can earn miraculous skills to break out of trouble. Faced with injustice, he rages inwardly: [Qin law? A wicked law designed to target honest people!] Ding! Reward: "Hidden Farmland Inspection and Progressive Fine Plan"!

While others are still struggling to collect grain, he turns around and writes "A Letter to the People", setting off a storm across the county. As an assassin's blade is about to fall, a shadow appears: "By order from above, I am here to keep you safe, sir."

Qin Feng is baffled. "An order from above? Am I really that famous?" It isn't until an envoy from Xianyang arrives, reads out an edict that matches his ideas exactly, and smiles as he says, "A man of great talent. His Majesty requests your presence."
