In the late stages of the Age of Declining Magic, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, and cultivators rarely venture into the world. Ordinary people have almost forgotten they ever existed, with their deeds surviving only in the occasional folktale.
Against this backdrop, Chen Wen, a modern-day gang boss, transmigrates into this world at the end of the Dharma age and turns it upside down.
Starting out as a lowly temporary worker, Chen Wen rises to become the youngest prime minister in history. Before he knows it, he holds all the power at court, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
Then, just as the rebels have been put down, the young emperor's position remains shaky and the court is in turmoil. Perhaps it's time to find a more worthy ruler.
How about we just take the throne ourselves and start a new dynasty for fun?
Wait!
Why does the young emperor look more and more like me as he grows up?
Hey, hey! What do you mean by that teary-eyed look? What's going on?
What do you mean, a father trying to seize his son's throne?
What are you talking about? Explain yourself!
You want me, the leader of the rebels, to switch sides?
And tearfully purge all my own followers?
Who could have seen that coming? Who could put up with this?
A paragon of virtue?
A retired emperor? A henpecked husband?
Oh, heavens! You can't be serious!
What happened to my carefree life? This is so unfair!
