I Joined the Imperial Brocade Guard, and My Whole Family Begged Me to Forgive Them

[Cutting off family ties and taking revenge + the Embroidered Uniform Guard's prison + growing stronger by searching corpses + ruthless and decisive]

Lu Yan transmigrates to the Great Wu Dynasty and takes the blame for the so-called “real young master.” His biological parents and older sister coldly disown him and throw him into the Embroidered Uniform Guard's prison, a place with virtually no chance of survival. There, he becomes a lowly corpse collector.

Everyone thinks he won’t last three days. But then Lu Yan awakens the [Record of Sin].

Collect the corpse of a corrupt official and gain [Greedy Wolf Saber Art] + [Ten Thousand Taels of Silver]!

Execute a demonic cult enchantress and gain [Phantom Steps] + [Fifty Years of Internal Energy]!

Strip the treasonous chancellor of his possessions and gain [Statecraft] + [Perfect Recall]!

Lu Yan quietly grows stronger in the prison, watching the tides rise and fall.

Until one day, the entire He family is dragged into the prison after being implicated in a rebellion case.

Seeing the “Living Yama” Lu Yan seated high in the main chair, dressed in an embroidered uniform and wearing a Spring Embroidered Saber at his waist, the whole family is so terrified they wet themselves.

His father cries bitterly: “Son, it’s your father! Save me!”

Lu Yan coolly wipes his saber. “This prison is no place to claim kinship. Anyone who does so will be executed!”

Years later, the emperor looks at Lu Yan, who outlived his grandfather and father and is now set to outlive him too, and trembles with fear.

“Minister Lu, I think there may still be hope for me...”

Lu Yan: “Your Majesty, the late emperor is lonely down there. It’s time you joined him.”
