Lin Chuan, a modern man, transmigrated to be the magistrate of Pingyang County. As soon as he took office, he was hit with the court's "excessive tax" demand. To save his life, he deliberately turned the county yamen into a dilapidated temple, wore patched clothes, and even ate pickled vegetables every meal to pretend poverty. Unexpectedly, Chu Zhao, the female emperor on an incognito visit to investigate corruption, arrived in Pingyang. Seeing the "dirt-poor" him who managed the county in perfect order, she was immediately intrigued—worse still, Chu Zhao recognized him as the little beggar who saved her ten years ago! To "repay" him, the empress took out the imperial seal and said: "Come back to the palace with me and be my empress." Lin Chuan was dumbfounded: I pretended to be poor to avoid taxes, how did I end up being an empress?
