The moment Ximen Qing opens his eyes, he's already being put to the test. What official could withstand a test like this?
And the woman is married, too! What the hell! Has he walked into a play? Is this already the scene where Wu Dalang catches them in the act? He doesn't remember what happened before that! Did his double do it instead!?
Once the dust settles, Ximen Qing finally accepts reality: he's transmigrated. At least he has a stats panel, or he'd have to pack up and head south.
But what awaits him is the Jurchen invasion, the Jingkang Incident, the fall of the Northern Song, and millions of people left homeless or dead.
There's no turning back now. He can only go with the will of Heaven and climb to the very top, one step at a time!
The will of Heaven? I've transmigrated, and you're telling me this isn't fate?
"You've really brought me to ruin!"
