The Little Monk Becomes Chief Minister, Starting with Sign-In for the Yijin Jing

After transmigrating to a dilapidated temple in Qingzhou, Lin Yuan becomes a young monk. His job is to pray for worshippers hoping to have children and grandchildren. He thought he would spend the rest of his life beside the ever-burning lamps and ancient Buddhas. But then, in the temple's scripture pavilion behind the mountain, he discovers three secret manuals: the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic, the Carefree Heavenly Scripture, and the Longevity and Eternal Spring Art. After three years of practice, he masters the martial arts and befriends many distinguished visitors who come to pray at the temple, including the families of powerful officials in the capital. After the temple is forcibly demolished, he has no choice but to leave the clergy. Why not try taking the imperial examinations? To his surprise, he comes first in all three levels of the examinations, making a name for himself across the land. Once he enters government service, Lin Yuan is astonished to discover that he knows more than half the wives of the court officials. Some secretly help him, some pass him confidential letters, and some shield him from open and covert attacks. His colleagues envy his smooth rise through the ranks, unaware that these connections with the “distinguished” were all foreshadowed three years ago. From a sixth-rank Hanlin editor to Grand Secretary, Lin Yuan advances one careful step at a time. With a sign-in System at his disposal, he dominates both the martial world and the imperial court. See how this little monk defies fate and rises to command all under heaven!
