[No System] [Heartwarming Everyday Life] [Imperial Examinations] [Court Intrigue]
After transmigrating, he wakes to find himself an abandoned baby left outside a temple.
Ten years beneath the temple lamps, surrounded by the Buddha’s teachings.
Then turmoil tears through the temple. His senior brother is killed, his master is trapped, and overnight the peaceful monastery becomes a slaughterhouse.
Liaochen finally understands: in this brutal world, he cannot survive by kneeling and chanting prayers.
He stages his own “return to secular life.”
The moment he takes off his monk’s robe, he is no longer Liaochen. He is Wang Chen.
He’s just a young monk who has left the temple. What kind of waves could he possibly make?
No one believes in him.
Wang Chen offers no explanations.
From the adopted son of a wealthy landlord to an official through the imperial examinations.
He advances cautiously through court, navigating plots and schemes.
From an abandoned child of the Buddhist order to Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.
One by one, he tramples everyone who once trampled him.
At court, the officials bow their heads. Beyond its halls, the people sing his praises.
Everyone who sees him has to lower their head and call him “Grand Secretary Wang.”
If Buddha will not save me, I will save myself…
