On the Guillotine, I Pretend to Be One of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans

In the first year of Shenlong, under the glory of the Tang dynasty, undercurrents stirred.

Lu Yan, a scholar of Tang history, transmigrated into Lingnan as a refugee, with his execution set for noon at the execution ground.

Wait, I've spent fifteen years studying Tang history. Surely I can't get killed off from the start?

The Five Surnames and Seven Houses, the Eight Deliberations, aristocratic clan politics...

Things that had once existed only in academic papers became his only lifeline.

Then a voice that shocked Chaoyang County rang out:

"I am of the Lu clan of Fanyang!"

He staked his life on impersonating a top aristocratic clan, debated the county magistrate, outwitted the gentry, and turned certain death into survival!

With the entire course of Tang history in his head, every move he made was a devastating advantage! From the execution ground in Lingnan to the court in Chang'an, from a fake aristocrat to a man wielding power over the realm!
