Modern office drone Lin Yuan transmigrates to an ancient otherworld after a car accident. In the third year of Yongqing, a severe drought grips Huaibei, and people are forced to eat their own children. Lin Yuan discovers that the smartwatch on his wrist can generate an unlimited supply of chicken burgers and meat porridge. Faced with bandits' blades, gentry-led sieges, and the covetous eyes of warlords, he turns food into a weapon: using meat porridge to feed the people and burgers to recruit soldiers. He rises from leading a grain convoy to commanding the Huaisi Army, and from a leader of refugees to the King of Chu amid the chaos.
When the cry “Those with grain live, those without grain die” rings across the Jianghuai region, a hundred thousand refugees follow him in the struggle for the Central Plains. When the smartwatch's blue light illuminates the palace halls of Jinling, he is both the “God of Grain” in the people's hearts and an anomaly in the eyes of powerful ministers. In this world of chaos, where corpses litter the land, Lin Yuan wields a golden finger that defies heaven, but behind its unlimited resources lurks a vortex of power more terrifying than famine.
From refugee to emperor, he advances one careful step at a time. From burgers to an empire, he follows the path of the Way through food, carving out an era of peace amid blood and fire, as the aroma of meat porridge spreads for miles, winning the people's hearts and uniting the realm.
