Transmigrated to the Great Ming, Starting Out as a Fake Taoist

In the nineteenth year of the Jiajing reign, the emperor was devoted to Daoism and the pursuit of immortality. It should have been a golden age for Daoist priests to make a name for themselves. But Lu Chen is a fake Daoist. He knows neither how to perform rituals nor how to refine pills, and spends every day walking on eggshells. At last, one day, he has a revelation. Aren’t rituals and alchemy all meant to bring prosperity to the Great Ming? If he can make the Great Ming prosper, won’t he be able to stop performing rituals and refining pills? From then on, a minister in Daoist robes joins the imperial court, and the Great Ming begins to move in an unknown direction. Only time will tell where this path leads.
