Chen Qing wakes up reborn in a war-torn world resembling the final years of the Ming dynasty, as a destitute refugee on the verge of death.
A broken bowl from the start, with nothing but darkness ahead.
Luckily, he has brought along a “survival pack” full of modern supplies when he transmigrated. He plans to rely on a lighter, antibiotics, and a copy of A Guide to Useful Skills for Military and Civilian Life to quietly farm, build up his strength, and live out his days in peace as a wealthy man amid the chaos.
He improves farming tools and doubles crop yields, forms a militia to repel bandits, and establishes a cooperative to help the villagers prosper together. Tiny Huai Tree Village becomes the only paradise in this war-torn world.
But when he happens to hear that a “master craftsman” in a neighboring county has made a “bright lamp” that can withstand wind and rain, Chen Qing is instantly drenched in a cold sweat.
He isn’t the only transmigrator in this world!
Even worse, the conspicuous “fellow traveler” is soon imprisoned by the authorities on charges of “spreading heretical nonsense,” then vanishes without a trace…
A vast power called the Pavilion of Heavenly Mandate is acting like a cleaner in the shadows, systematically hunting down all “anomalous” transmigrators.
Chen Qing suddenly realizes that he faces more than natural disasters and human calamities. He is caught in a dark forest hunting game, hidden on the shadowy side of history and spanning time and space.
Farming alone won’t be nearly enough to survive.
This seemingly harmless farmer must become more dangerous than every hunter out there!
He quietly raises a torch, determined not only to light up his fields, but also to… burn his way through this man-eating forest!
