The longest road Su Qian has ever walked is the System’s string of tricks.
In his previous life, he was the founder of a biotech company worth tens of billions. Then, in an instant, he transmigrated to the Great Qian dynasty and became a coroner without even an official rank.
From the start, one of his kidneys was stolen, and he was saddled with a staggering debt of 900 million taels to the Heavenly Dao Bank.
Want to kill himself? The System rules it an attempt to evade debt and serves him a penalty package of electric shocks and fines.
Want someone else to kill him? The System forcibly deducts money to activate invincibility mode, leaving him poorer with every attack.
Su Qian clutched his aching lower back and watched as the move that had just “split open Heaven’s Gate with a single sword” charged him a whopping 13,000 taels. He wept tears of poverty.
To buy back his kidney, Su Qian had no choice but to get to work.
He deliberately threw himself into danger and was hailed as a lone hero who would charge in even against ten thousand foes. He wept over his deduction bill and was revered as a saint who cared for all living things and felt compassion for the world. He didn’t want to use his ultimate move because he was trying to save money, but the overactive imaginations of his admirers, led by Pei Jue, elevated him into an earthly immortal who “hides in plain sight.” Gu Qingyue: “Su Qian, if you’re doing this for justice, why push yourself so hard?” Pei Jue: “Brother Su is truly noble, treating money like dirt. He’s a role model for us all!”
Highly recommended, a super funny novel
