My Sister-in-Law Lent Me Five Hundred Taels, So I Became a Brocade-Clad Guard

[Political Intrigue] [How Your Sister-in-Law Became the Ming Dynasty's Number One Angel Investor] [The Corrupt Officials We've Scammed Over the Years] [The Road from Junior Banner Officer to the Father of the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old]

After transmigrating to another timeline's Ming Dynasty, Ye Jing becomes the second son of a marquis's family in the capital, a lazy wastrel who is out of favor.

The dynasty is in its twilight years. The young emperor is under the sway of eunuchs, the Eastern Depot wields immense power, the government is riddled with corruption, and the people live in misery. Powerful enemies watch from beyond the borders, while the Age of Exploration is about to begin overseas.

Fortunately, Ye Jing awakens a golden finger. After joining the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he rises through the ranks, eliminates rivals, cleans up corrupt officials, and leads the Ming Dynasty to grow stronger and reclaim its former glory.

When the thunder of Portuguese cannons rings out across the sea, Ye Jing boards a treasure ship with his Xiuchun Saber in hand. "I'll finish the wars Zheng He left unfinished, but let's get one thing straight..."

"The first five hundred taels of gold we loot are mine!"

His goal is simple: use the Great Ming Code to reform pirates, expand the Directorate of Ceremonial's grave-mourning business to Hokkaido, and send the Embroidered Uniform Guard's prison KPIs soaring across the Western Ocean!
