In the tenth year of Chongzhen's reign in the Great Ming, Henan is hit by a severe drought, and bands of roving rebels rise everywhere.
In Qingping County, Qingping, Dongchang Prefecture, Chen Ping looks at the third-rank constable's uniform on his body and falls into deep thought.
The realm will be in chaos in three years. What should he do?
Anyone there? It's urgent!
Fortunately, the [Inner Voice Choice System] awakens, and Chen Ping casts off all moral restraint!
Who in their right mind would be an honest constable?
He catches the county magistrate's daughter gambling? He detains her and uses her as leverage.
He meets a righteous woman warrior from a prestigious sect, out on a training journey? One round of twisted reasoning, and he fools her completely, gaining himself a free bodyguard.
From then on, Qingping County has a ruthless living King of Hell who plays dirty!
By day, he takes the absurdly chuunibyou woman warrior to sweep through the county's criminal gangs, pocketing all their money and supplies.
By night, he whispers in his wife's ear, getting corrupt officials dismissed and his own people promoted.
Use underworld methods to make money, then whitewash it with an official title. Lean on his wife for protection, and let his woman warrior cut down foes across the land!
In just three years, Qingping County becomes the only haven of peace in the Great Ming amid the chaos.
The realm is about to descend into chaos?
What's there to panic about!
He intercepts a down-and-out famous general, recruits martial artists fleeing their homes, and opens up a trade route along the Grand Canal.
When an army of hundreds of thousands of rebels arrives, they see the walls lined with cannons and black-clad men in full armor, and despair on the spot!
Chen Ping looks down on everyone: "I'm just a constable with a private army of hundreds of thousands. That's perfectly reasonable, right?"
His subordinates drape Chen Ping in an imperial robe: "My lord, the weather's getting cold. Put on another layer!"
