You're just an ordinary person. Even if you transmigrate, you're still ordinary, maybe even worse off.
You're no expert in science or engineering, you can't write classical Chinese, you know nothing about medicine, you can't handcraft machine guns and cannons, you don't know mixed martial arts or how to do business, and you haven't studied the major or minor events of history in detail. You're not even particularly virtuous...
You, an utterly average office worker with no special talents, whose health has been worn down by capitalist bosses until you're in a constant state of poor health, have only picked up a little history from TV shows and short videos. Now that you've really transmigrated into an ancient peasant, how will you rise up from the bottom of society?
