A Rookie in the Early Tang Dynasty

Am I the villain from the start? No way!

Here are Li Shimin, the emperor of a thousand ages, and Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, along with a host of dazzling civil officials and mighty generals.

I don't belong to Li Shimin or Li Jiancheng. Instead, I'm on the side opposing their Tang dynasty? What kind of joke is this?

Did I just transmigrate here only to be sent back by someone?

But no matter what, now that I've arrived in the magnificent Tang dynasty and am about to witness the rise of the emperor of a thousand ages, I have to ride the waves of this era of upheaval. I can't just be a villain at everyone else's mercy.

Just as the protagonist is thinking this, he leaves the faction opposing the Tang dynasty and joins the Tang dynasty's supposedly righteous family. But you're telling me to serve as a guard at Xuanwu Gate?

What is going on? Li Yuan is still emperor, and the Xuanwu Gate Incident will happen before long. I'm still in Li Jiancheng's faction. Am I destined to be the villain?

Impossible. I'm a good person, a genuinely good person.
