Lin Feng, a top modern special forces instructor, unexpectedly transmigrates to the Great Yin Dynasty.
From the start, he lands the job of seventh-rank county magistrate in the poorest, most run-down county in the dynasty!
The county office is drafty, the treasury is empty, famine is ravaging the county, and corrupt gentry run wild!
On his very first day, he's saddled with a massive tax debt of 3,000 taels. If he can't pay it off in three days, he'll be stripped of office and thrown in prison!
Everyone in the county, from corrupt officials and local tyrants to the powerful elite, is waiting to watch him crash and burn!
No one knows that Lin Feng possesses peerless Tai Chi martial arts, which he keeps hidden the whole time!
He also has a full set of modern, top-tier skills in agriculture, infrastructure, law, and governance!
He clears barren hills and plants sweet potatoes, corn, and chili peppers, ending a thousand-year famine in just a few months!
He builds roads and canals, cleans up the bureaucracy, reforms the tax system, and helps displaced refugees!
He transforms a rundown county everyone despises into the richest and most prosperous county in the land!
He only wanted to keep a low profile, develop steadily, and rise through the ranks in peace.
Who could have guessed that the peerless empress, traveling incognito, would set her sights on him at first glance?
Every day, she disguises herself as an ordinary commoner and sneaks into the county office to watch him work, see how he handles things, and enjoy his face-slapping moments against the powerful!
The more she watches, the more she falls for him. The longer she lurks, the deeper she sinks!
Then there's Cheng Qi, an aloof, tsundere female guard obsessed with martial arts: “Beat me, and I'll give you my heart!”
Lin Feng effortlessly crushes her with Tai Chi, winning the young woman over completely!
A master of both civil and military arts, concealing his strength as he saves the world, and crushing every powerful foe!
A humble county magistrate rises against all odds. The aloof empress is utterly smitten and insists on whisking him back to the palace!
