The New Gate (LN) - Vol 13 Chapter 2.4: Chapter 2 Part 4

Su Yue is a high school student in the world where almost everyone dreams to be a martial artist. Though Su's father is a renowned martial artist, Su has to work as a deliveryman to pay his school fees for his father has been sent to jail and didn't leave even a penny to him. However, a mysterious customer changes Su's life.“You don't need to worry about that, my bounty is one million now, why don't you sell me?”“After taxes, you could keep 600,000.”“So many taxes, I wish I were a martial artist, then I could keep 900,000 of the million!”

Set in the Eastern Jin era when bureaucrats and their lofty yet equally hypocritical and oppressive ideas once ruled the empire, Chen Rong is made to use her past life’s experience to survive and hopefully find happiness this time around.
