Ming Bei Lu: the Troubled Times

A modern soul fell into the smoke of troubled times that has not been recorded in history books. Biology graduate student Xiao Mo was reborn as a fourteen-year-old boy in Qiguo Mountain Village. He was persecuted by his clan and expelled from his home when he opened his eyes. With his sick mother, honest brother and younger sister, he moved to Luoma Valley at the foot of Huxiao Mountain. He learned from the protagonists in the novels of later generations, using plant ash to make soap, building houses with mortise and tenon joints, and carving out a paradise in the wilderness. However, troubled times cannot allow for a pure land - the greed of the patriarch Xiao Wanshan, the threat of the Beirong cavalry, and the collusion between mountain bandits and the government followed one after another. When the county magistrate imprisoned him for "stealing ancestral property," when hundreds of horses from Shenhu Village rushed into the county office through the morning light, when the secret recipe of soap became the bane coveted by the powerful... Xiao Mo finally understood: In this era when human life is like grass, mercy must be bladed with iron and blood. He rescued prisoners of war, collected refugees, and built fortified cities. He used benevolence and righteousness as a shield and wisdom as a sword, and weaved an invisible giant net in troubled times. It's just that no one knows! When the nine banners surged and killers from all directions arrived one after another, when the current officials colluded with foreign countries to massacre the domestic compatriots, when the empress of Qi State was shunned by traitorous ministers, and when the precarious royal family put the burden on Xiao Mo's shoulders, the road to troubled times had just begun.
