The False Gentleman of the Ming Dynasty

To put it bluntly, everyone here is trash. Surviving in the Ming court is so hard. Taking on one at a time isn't enough. I'll take on ten!

After transmigrating to the Chenghua era of the Ming dynasty, Fang Tangjing, who keeps courting disaster, has no choice but to work himself to the bone to earn honors, rack up achievements, and build a reputation just to protect himself. He cuts down every official who stands in his way, throwing the entire Ming court into chaos. He reaches the top in a sorry state, becoming the Ming dynasty's Grand Secretary, and along the way turns it into a darkened empire that commands respect across the seas.

Posterity praises his achievements in a couplet bearing his title: The sun and moon shine together, and all nations look up to the Son of Heaven of Great Ming; hills and mountains rise as peaks, and the four seas sing the praises of Lord Taiyue.
