Great Ming: From Tutor to Official

In the autumn of the 40th year of the Jiajing reign, Chun'an County in Hangzhou Prefecture welcomed an unusual advisor. Modern criminal investigator Yan Lou accidentally transmigrated through time and became an aide to county magistrate Zhou Mobai.

With Japanese pirates running rampant and the officialdom rife with corruption, Yan Lou used modern forensic techniques to solve the White Lotus Cultist Case, then deployed economic measures to avert a crisis caused by the county treasury's shortfall.

He displayed remarkable talent while dealing with illegal salt along the canal and outwitting the prefect of Hangzhou. By seizing his opportunities, he entered the Zhejiang Provincial Surveillance Commission. When the famous anti-pirate general Qi Jiguang was reassigned to Zhejiang, Yan Lou brought modern military ideas to the war against the pirates, gradually growing from a local aide into a strategist who could sway the court.
