A Poor Scholar from the Start, Then I United the Realm

[Rebirth + Imperial Examinations + Power Struggles + Innate Strength + Decisive and Ruthless + No Saintly Hero]

Lin Yichen, a top graduate from a prestigious university, worked himself to death. When he opened his eyes, he had been reborn as a destitute scholar in ancient times.

This was the worst of times: the dynasty was rotten, treacherous ministers ruled, powerful clans stood everywhere, foreign tribes surrounded the realm, and natural and man-made disasters had left the people in misery!

It was also the best of times: he had awakened innate strength and a photographic memory, and his knowledge of history from his previous life was his greatest cheat!

All he had wanted was to pass the imperial examinations, protect his family, and live a carefree life as a minor official.

But one performance of “Bring in the Wine” made him famous in the capital, while his iron fists dragged him into the raging whirlpool of court politics!

Only when he saw that the corrupt court had rotted to its very roots did he understand: if he wanted to survive, he could rely only on himself!

With a pen, he can bring peace to the realm; on horseback, he can bring the world to heel!

“People call me a tyrant and say I kill indiscriminately?”

Lin Yichen sneered. “I just send scum to their next life efficiently. And while I'm at it, I'll become an emperor for the ages!”
