Chen Yan, 28 years old, works as a social worker in a large factory. His biggest dream is to completely destroy his job and achieve "retirement freedom" as soon as possible. After working overtime one day and dying suddenly, he found that he was reborn during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty and became the only son of a small and run-down landowner on the outskirts of Bianjing.
Before he had time to be happy, he found that he was facing three consecutive attacks: there were fierce servants bullying the master, the fields were occupied, and there were officials coming to capture the young men.
This start is worse than 996!
Just when Chen Yan was about to continue "waiting for death", he was surprised to find that he could actually see a panel similar to a life RPG game - you can archive certain events by completing them, you can unlock new plots by changing the direction of history, and you can even read the "National Fortune Progress Bar of the Song Dynasty"!
"Wait, are you asking me to play The Sims in ancient times?"
Chen Yan's eyes lit up. Bianjing is prosperous, with wooden buildings everywhere, delicious food, and famous ministers, military generals, literati and poets who have only been seen in history books... More importantly, there are no check-ins, weekly or monthly reports, and no KPI assessments here!
He decided that this time, he would live the "salted fish life" he dreamed of in this era.
However, when he saw the scene of his family being bullied, his father being beaten and lying in bed, and the simple tenants selling off their children because of exorbitant taxes... His heart, which had long been smoothed by the modern workplace, seemed to be pricked by something again.
"Forget it, let's set a small goal first - to feed the whole family."
But when he really took action, he discovered that this "simple" goal had already involved the long-standing party strife in the Song Dynasty, and the northern Jurchens were eyeing them.
