The Most Timid County Magistrate: Whoever Dares Cross Me, I Destroy

Shen Chen only wants to keep a low profile and stay alive, but the System coaxes and tricks him into rising to power, step by step. His influence sweeps across the frontier and shakes the imperial court, drawing the old and new dynasties into a united campaign against him as powerful figures across the realm watch him like hawks.

Shen Chen decides to give up completely. Using Yongning County as his base, he boldly sweeps through the chaos of the age. He can point his sword at the Central Plains and claim the throne, or wander the streets and savor life's little pleasures.

In the end, he holds power over the court and commands the fate of the realm, yet he still sticks to his carefree, do-as-he-pleases way of life, living with ease and freedom.
