I Lay Low as a Brocade Guard

Lin Bei is a modern-day career thug. His strengths: he can drink, talk big, and run. He wakes up transmigrated into the body of a useless junior officer in the Ming dynasty’s Embroidered Uniform Guard. He owes the Yihong Courtesan House seventeen taels of silver, and Yan Song has singled him out for execution.

“I’m a thug, and you want me to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard? That’s like asking me to arrest myself!”

Everyone thinks he’s the biggest joke in the Northern Branch of the Supreme Court.

Then he solves cold cases with street cons, captures wanted criminals with shameless tricks, and turns the Ming bureaucracy upside down with a thug’s logic.

Yan Song: “I’m going to kill him.”

The Jiajing Emperor: “I think the kid’s pretty interesting.”

Lin Bei: “We’re all just trying to make a living. No need to take things so seriously.”
