Great Tang: From County Magistrate to Chancellor

Shen Yan, a modern low-level civil servant, transmigrates into the body of a lowly county magistrate in the first year of Longshuo in the Tang dynasty.

Outside, powerful local families seize farmland. Inside, his superiors pressure him. At court, people are eyeing his head.

He doesn't lead troops, start a rebellion, or put on airs. He does just one thing: balance the books, lay out the evidence, and give the people justice.

From Meng County to Bingzhou, from Bingzhou to Chang'an, from county magistrate to chancellor.

This is the story of how a grassroots official survives and rises through the ranks in the Tang dynasty.
