Seizing the Ming

A bolt from the blue! He has transmigrated! Thunder crashes and lightning flashes! His maternal grandfather is named Zhongxian, and his surname is Wei! Luckily, he can become a licentiate, a provincial graduate, and even a palace graduate without memorizing the eight-legged essays! All he has to say to a corrupt official is, “Do you know who my grandfather is?” The Ming eunuch faction clears the way for him, presents him with gifts, and sends silver pouring into his pockets. All he has to say to an honest official is, “I’m not like my grandfather!” The upright officials of the Ming all praise him as a good official, and his rank shoots up in no time. Yet the common people, soldiers, and small merchants, those at the very bottom of society, never know who his grandfather is. They only know that this good official is called Yang Lan! In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, in late autumn, Yang Lan arrived in the Ming dynasty... That is all we can reveal for now. Click to read if you want the full story!
