Ouyang Yuan never imagined that an accident during an experiment would send his soul back to the Warring States period, into the body of the most unfortunate prince of the age: Si Ti, the Yue king’s surviving son. His kingdom has fallen and his family is dead. An envoy from the mighty Chu has come to force him to kneel and accept a title! Behind him are battered soldiers living in constant fear; before him stands a would-be hegemon, eyeing him hungrily. Surrender? Go down fighting? Or... endure humiliation and quietly build up his lands? The modern PhD in agricultural science gives a cold laugh: Obviously, he chooses farming!
The King of Chu thinks he has granted a title to an obedient “Marquis of Ouyang Pavilion.” Little does he know that Ouyang Yuan wants the whole world! He develops irrigation, improves farm tools, doubles crop yields, and wins the hearts of refugees! He smelts fine steel and crafts powerful crossbows. The new Ou-Yue army begins to show its fangs! Make distant allies and attack nearby foes; forge alliances and play states against each other. I’ll be the one moving the pieces in the Warring States game!
When Qin’s elite soldiers meet Yue’s steel armor and crossbows, and alliances meet a crushing technological advantage, watch how Ouyang Yuan rises from a corner of the Ou River region, using the arts of Shennong as his foundation and a torrent of steel as his blade, to sweep across the world and forge an unprecedented Ou-Yue Empire!
