The Tyrant Minister

Veteran Tan Zong died unjustly, his spirit lingering on. He unexpectedly returned to a strange historical time and space, becoming Lin Ba, a recently successful scholar from the Lin family in Dongyang Prefecture, who is characterized by his timidity and is somewhat looked down upon by others.

Before he could realize his dream of idling away the days, walking dogs, raising birds, and flirting with young women, Lin Fu found himself ensnared in a vortex of competition for beauty, drawn in by his infatuation with the renowned courtesan Su Mei of Jiangning. This struggle involved numerous forces, including contemporary celebrities, local magnates, court officials, warlords, and notorious bandits from the East China Sea.

Unwilling to be a complacent dog of peace, nor to fall into the ranks of the disordered, let us observe how Lin Fu, a man of two lives, begins to overturn the power pyramid from its lowest tier. In the glamorous life of "who knows the fragrance hidden in the skirt, where the soul is captivated by another scent," he completes a magnificent transformation from a "capable minister in a time of peace" to a "hero in a time of chaos"
