Dawu's First Rebel

Chen Changgeng, a transmigrator from the modern world, finds himself in ancient times with a single ambition: to pass the imperial examinations and ascend the civil service, all in order to plead for the common people. But his plans are shattered when his examination essays are seized, and he is thrown into prison on trumped-up charges. As he awaits execution, with hope all but lost, an unexpected visitor arrives at his cell—none other than the crown prince’s consort, who has come in person to extend an offer that could change everything.
