The Empress's Favorite Bastard Minister

Shen Chen transmigrates to the Great Qian Dynasty, a realm that never existed in history. To stay alive, he sets out to make a name for himself, never imagining he would meet the empress. From then on, everything spirals out of control.

He joins the Embroidered Guard, punishing the wicked and eliminating evil.

At court, he battles treacherous ministers and brings corrupt princes to justice.

On the frontiers, he crushes Northern Liang, defeats the Turks, and drives back the Wu Kingdom. Fighting across the realm, he makes the Great Qian empress the ruler of all under heaven.

In business, he invents refined salt, strong liquor, glass, perfume, and more, becoming the greatest merchant in the land.

Before he knows it, Shen Chen stands at the very peak of the Great Qian Dynasty.
