Synopsis

[Clever and savvy, perfect for seasoned readers] + [Officialdom] + [power plays] + [wits and strategy] + [the art of staying under the radar] + [a master schemer] + [the rise of an ordinary man]

Jiang Ning transmigrates into the Great Kun Dynasty as a clerk in the local government office.

From the start, a man takes a liking to him and wants him in his bed.

At the critical moment, Jiang Ning awakens a System that makes him stronger by reading.

Reading The Carefree Journey grants him the Northern Darkness Dao Art.

Reading The Water Dragon Classic grants him the Golden Light Heavenly Eye.

Reading the Dao De Jing grants him the ability to divide one breath into three pure forms.

As long as there are books to read, Jiang Ning can master every power and mystery in the world and reach the peak.

Some call him petty and vindictive, the sort who never lets a slight go unanswered.

Some say he's clueless about romance and undoubtedly a pathetic loser.

Some say he's greedy for office and will bring disaster upon the realm.

Jiang Ning offers no explanation. When he rules the world and looks down upon the cultivation world, great scholars will naturally argue the Dao on his behalf!

Looking for Masterpieces, but Not Anything on the Recommendation Rankings

Don't recommend anything where the protagonist's surname is Ye or Ling, where the protagonist has a cute little sister, or where the protagonist is a bleeding-heart do-gooder. In short, no stupid novels. The darker and more ruthless, the better! Kill, kill, kill!!!
