The Great Ming Across Two Worlds: Starting Out as a Stand-In Magistrate

His good-for-nothing father saddled him with five hundred thousand yuan in debt. The creditors forced him to sign a fifty-year indenture. Enraged, he electrocuted himself, but instead of dying, he awakened the hidden power of his family's heirloom bracelet. When he opened his eyes, he was in the Ming dynasty, during the Tianqi era. As soon as he arrived, a group of yamen runners shackled him with iron chains and dragged him to the county office to serve as a scapegoat. The former magistrate had fled. The swordswoman Yue Nu kept her eyes on him, sword in hand, while Wang Er, a rebel leader, was preparing to attack the city. Lu Tian touched the runes on his wrist. “Sorry, I can return to the modern world whenever I want.” From then on, he began a career trading goods between the past and present. A broken jar from the Ming dynasty was an antique in the modern world. Instant noodles from the modern world made the swordswoman drool in the Ming dynasty.
