Wuxia Crossover: You Failed the Exams, So You Stab the Princess with a Taser?

After failing the xiucai exams three times in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Qian loses all hope. Just then, his great-uncle, who works in the capital, confidently promises him a factory job with room and board.

Zheng Qian figures that since he failed to land a government post, he might as well work in a factory. As long as he can lie flat, that's good enough. But when he reaches the factory gates and sees the two characters "Eastern Depot" on the sign, he pauses in confusion.

Even more absurdly, the factory manager interviewing him is an old man with a pale face and no facial hair, who speaks in a high-pitched voice and introduces himself as Cao Zhengchun.

Since he's already here, Zheng Qian decides to make the best of it. He awakens the Hardcore Security Guard System, which makes him stronger whenever he performs his security duties.

And so, the Ming Dynasty takes an unexpected turn.

When Zhu Wushi, the Iron Gallant Marquis, tries to force his way into the Eastern Depot, Zheng Qian zaps him to the ground with a stun baton. "No outsiders allowed in without a signed pass from the manager!"

As Ximen Chuixue faces off in a duel atop the Forbidden City, Zheng Qian marches over with a megaphone to issue a fine. "Weapons are prohibited! Dangerous work at height: a fine of fifty taels!"

Cao Zhengchun stares at the martial arts legends Zheng Qian has subdued, trembling. "Security Guard Lu, you call this guarding the entrance?"
