Transmigrated as a Poor Magistrate: I Built a Utopia with Rogue Tricks and Was Forced to Be King

share time: 2025-12-26 00:33:54

Lin Chuan, a modern corporate slave, died from staying up late to finish a PPT and woke up as the magistrate of Qinghe County—the poorest county in the Great Qian Dynasty. His territory suffered a decade of drought and famine, with refugees and corpses everywhere. Corrupt officials above demanded "bribe silver," and even the cold, elegant county assistant Su Wan mocked him: "You won’t live three months." Lin Chuan rolled his eyes: modern "unorthodox tricks" weren’t for nothing! He tricked a corrupt official out of 3,000 taels to build a canal, packaged wild peaches as "fairy dew peaches" for nobles in the capital, and organized refugees to launch a "utopia farming experience" that attracted literati. In two years, the poor valley became a "fairyland," drawing the emperor’s incognito visit. But trouble came: the emperor wanted to promote him to Minister of Revenue, powerful officials forced him to take sides, and enemy spies stole the "utopia secret." Lin Chuan collapsed: "I just wanted to be a slacker magistrate—why am I forced to be king?" Su Wan raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Because you turned a poor county into a national treasure."
