Call Me a Gentleman

[Literary Genius] [Crime Solving] [Power] [Nobility] [Capital] [Alternate History]

“Let’s welcome Holunsi’s swordsmanship star, Huo Ge!”

Huo Ge: “No, I’m not very good at swordsmanship. I’m just an ordinary gentleman.”

“The kingdom’s scourge of crime! The pillar holding up Newcastle!”

Huo Ge: “Those evils always come looking for me, but as a gentleman, I can’t go around fighting them.”

“A literary giant, Holunsi’s bestselling author!”

Huo Ge: “Ah, if that editor weren’t always pestering me, why would I, as a gentleman, pick up a pen and do the work of a man of letters?”

A transmigrant skilled in deception and silver-tongued persuasion finds himself from the start as a homeless man in the medieval Kingdom of Holunsi.

Wearing a cheap suit with the bearing of a nobleman, he talks his way into the police station and becomes a low-ranking officer. From a case in which slaves are framed to a massacre at the port, he outwits evil with his brains and cracks one baffling case after another!

Step by step, he maneuvers for power, cultivates ties with knights, and gets to know the nobility. From a rookie at the police station, he ultimately rises to become a nobleman with capital in his hands.

“A gentleman never goes looking for trouble. But when trouble comes to him, he has to show the kingdom who’s really calling the shots.”

Deception and justice intertwine, while the written word clashes with political intrigue. Solving crimes, wealth, fame, status...

Watch as this fake gentleman uses his wits to deal with evil and amass capital, turning the entire kingdom into his promised land!

Many years later.

Watching the kingdom’s people in a fervor, shouting that they want him to establish a church of his own, Huo Ge leans on his walking stick and chuckles. “Don’t flatter me. We’re not starting some kind of cult. I’m just an ordinary gentleman who knows a few tricks.”
