Li Ye, a modern young man, accidentally transmigrates to the late Tang dynasty, where the people are living in misery, and becomes the poorest bachelor in Chenliu Village. It is a time of chaos: the land is parched, food is scarce, and the people struggle on the brink of death. The body he has taken over is so weak that it is close to starving to death.
In this desperate situation, Li Ye binds himself to the Benevolence Shop System. The System offers life-saving provisions such as food and clean water, as well as all kinds of weapons and farming tools. But the coins needed to obtain these supplies can only be earned by helping others and doing good deeds.
Li Ye begins by mending the clothes of A Xiu, the orphan girl who saved him, and giving her food. With the System’s help, he earns coins through small acts of kindness and exchanges them for supplies. He helps a dying old man and shares grain with the villagers, earning their gratitude as his coin balance steadily grows.
As his coins accumulate, Li Ye is able not only to improve life for himself and those around him, but also to buy equipment and rally people to his cause. In this chaotic era of war and famine, he starts with kindness and, aided by the System, gradually builds his strength as he pursues his goal of becoming a powerful regional lord. On the soil of the late Tang dynasty, he writes a legend of his own.
