Synopsis

Li Ming, a modern man, wakes up after his soul travels through time and finds himself in ancient Ning, reborn as Zhang Dashan, a forty-year-old dirt-poor farmer in Qingshi Village on the frontier! He faces a home with bare walls and eight hungry children, a wife worn out by hard work and helpless with worry, and parents so hopelessly biased they see him as a burden. His younger brother and sister-in-law are lazy, greedy, sharp-tongued parasites, too! And to make matters worse, he's forced to split from the family with practically nothing to his name! The road ahead is blocked, and there's no way back! In an ancient society where human lives are worthless and clan rules are ironclad, how can an outsider like him, with no power or influence, use his empty hands to protect the nine frightened faces behind him and win his wife and children a chance to survive? Fortunately, there's always a way forward! Etched in his mind is an encyclopedia of ancient Chinese technology from the future: The Exploitation of the Works of Nature! Improve the curved-shaft plow to boost farming efficiency and make even wasteland yield crops! Use composting to enrich poor soil, turning stones into gold! Master brewing, sauce-making, weaving, and pottery, then start a home workshop and earn his first fortune! And with knowledge and wisdom far ahead of his time, he can see through people, outwit greedy landlords, navigate clan politics, evade official extortion, and overcome one crisis after another! This is the story of an ordinary man fighting his way out of desperate circumstances.
