Traveling Through Ancient Times, Starting with Saving a Girl

In the third year of Qingyuan, heavy snow covered Beijing. Shen Yan once traveled through time and became the head of the household department of the seventh rank of the Dayong Dynasty. He saw through this troubled world where the imperial power was supreme, the clans were monopolized, and it was difficult for honest officials to live. Full of ambitions, he suddenly realized: if he wants to do good things, he must first gain power. He abandoned his reputation and pedantry, and decided to follow a shocking path - imitating He Shen, using corruption to become an official, using power for personal gain, and using thunderous means to reach the top of power. On a snowy night, he rescued Lu Minglan, the daughter of a criminal who would rather die than surrender. He recognized her character at a glance and took her into the arms of his confidant. From then on, the seventh-rank petty official stepped into the turbulent flow of officialdom. On the surface, he tried to gain favor, amassed money and formed cliques, and became a corrupt official and a sycophant in the eyes of the world; He circled in the maelstrom of power and intrigue, competed between aristocratic families and the imperial power, endured eternal infamy, and held immense power, just to use his own power to rewrite the injustice of this troubled world and protect the peace and happiness of the people in his heart. The power over the world is not for the sake of glory, but for the purpose of using one's dirty body to walk a pure path.
