A Day Job in Emperor Wu of Han's Court

After being reborn in ancient times with her memories intact, Wei Kang discovered that in this life he was both a rich kid and a second-generation official, with every chance of becoming a spoiled wastrel who did nothing but eat and wait to die.

But Wei Kang’s cousin was Huo Qubing, and his father was Wei Qing.

Although he didn’t know much about the history of Emperor Wu of Han’s reign, Wei Kang knew two things: Huo Qubing had died young, and Wei Qing’s nephew, the Crown Prince, would never become emperor.

Wei Kang suddenly felt uncertain about his future.

Fortunately, he had a portable library System in this life. He dug out Records of the Grand Historian and the Book of Han, then read them carefully.

Compared with the rivers of blood shed during the Witchcraft Disaster, and the Huo family’s extermination under Emperor Xuan of Han, the Wei family got off fairly lightly: they lost their title, and only one person died.

Unfortunately, that person was Wei Kang.
