Chen Xuan transmigrates to a chaotic age of martial arts and becomes the lowest-ranking servant in the Marquis of Zhenbei's estate in Qingzhou.
Bound by a death contract, he gets most of his two hundred copper coins in monthly wages withheld. He sweeps the stables, cleans the latrines, and serves as a punching bag for the young masters. His status is lower than a dog's.
In his previous life, he was an office drone. In this life, he's still an office drone.
Until he awakens [Heaven Rewards Hard Work]
An hour of training gives others one point of progress, but gives him five. Train for twenty hours? The bonus doubles! No aptitude requirements, no bottlenecks, and a 100 percent chance of successful breakthroughs!
From then on, Chen Xuan plays the obedient servant during the day and trains like a madman at night.
All of Qingzhou knows this:
The true master of the Marquis of Zhenbei's estate has never been the one surnamed Xiao.
It's the servant who once knelt in the stables and swept up manure.
“There is only one thing I, Chen Xuan, believe in: Heaven rewards hard work. You rely on bloodlines, pills, and family connections. I rely on grinding. And what I grind out exceeds everything all of you have put together.”
