Synopsis

One-sentence summary: A modern office worker dies suddenly and transmigrates into the body of a simple-minded farmhand in 1930. Forced to endure the landlord's so-called “blessings,” he uses his modern mindset to turn his life around, eventually joining the revolutionary tide with the landlord's daughter. My name is Zhang Wei. I was a modern programmer who died suddenly after working 996 hours at a major internet company. I closed my eyes and opened them again to find myself in a village in North China in 1930, as Erhan, a farmhand in the household of the landlord Gu Shouye. From code to hoe, things are hellish from the start. Instead of the perks promised to transmigrators, he faces hard labor every day from before dawn until dark, along with “blessings” worse than pig slop: watery porridge clear enough to see your reflection in and coarse bran that scrapes your throat raw. The cruel taunts of the foreman, Steward Wang, and the calculating schemes of the landlord make Erhan keenly feel the hardships endured by the lower classes in the old society. His hands blister, his shoulders are bruised by heavy loads, and on nights when hunger gnaws at him, he misses the takeout he used to complain about more than anything. His simple-mindedness is just a disguise; his true core is intelligence. As a modern soul, how could Erhan resign himself to his fate? He acts slow-witted and honest on the surface, while his mind works at lightning speed. Using modern knowledge, he improves farm tools, outsmarts the steward, and secretly makes life better for the other farmhands. Even his occasional displays of “foresight” earn him the admiration of the shrewd landlord, Gu Shouye. Along the way, he and Gu Caiwei, the kindhearted landlord's daughter who received a modern education, go from misunderstanding each other to getting to know one another, then falling in love, beginning a forbidden romance that crosses class lines...
