What’s it like to have a band of loyal brothers?
What’s it like when you’ve accepted reality and settled down to farm in peace,
only to be swept along by the gears of history, your life rising and falling, then rising and falling again?
Like riding a roller coaster, how would it make you feel?
The person best qualified to answer is Liu Wu, founding emperor of the Great Xuan dynasty.
Liu Wu summed it up in just two words: thrilling!
Starting with nothing but a broken hoe, he used it to carve out a realm stretching thousands of miles.
Liu Wu was once an ordinary college Chinese teacher at a university in Huaxia.
During his vacation, an accident happened.
His soul transmigrated into a fictional world with no place in recorded history.
He started life in a poor farming family, in a feudal society with a rigid hierarchy.
Once Liu Wu had figured out his family’s situation, he kept wondering:
How could he rise above his station?
This was an age that favored farming over commerce, with no imperial examinations.
The powerful had blocked off the path to government office.
Liu Wu had two choices. The first was to enlist and earn military merits.
The second was to become Shennong incarnate and develop high-yield crops.
Only the first option was available to him: join the army.
Then he learned that the second path was closed to him too.
Sigh...
Whatever. He might as well accept his fate.
Just as he was ready to give up and coast through life, an opportunity came along.
Note: The male lead is not a good person, and he can be downright shameless.
He’ll stop at nothing to get what he wants.
If you don't do it by any means, I can only say it's bullshit. Forced protagonist halo.
Toxic
Not bad, the writing is not brainless
The ending was quite good, but the ending was a little rushed.
Not bad Come on
