Famine in a Chaotic Age: My Daily Prayers Can Reach the Gods!

Also known as: "Famine in a Chaotic Age: From Refugee to Emperor of the Realm" and "My Prayers Can Determine the Fate of a Nation"

[Today's prayer: May the weather be favorable and the harvest bountiful]

[Minor fortune: Beneath the dry well east of the village, a spring has begun flowing again. Draw from it to get through this crisis.]

[Average fortune: In the abandoned mountain god temple, a wealthy merchant fleeing famine left sacks of grain. Beware of rats.]

[Great misfortune: Bandit scouts are already within five miles. They mean harm. Flee at once!]

After transmigrating into a refugee amid famine and chaos, Zhao Heng thought he wouldn't live three days.

At the brink of despair, he inherited the shamanic mantle his mother had left behind and discovered he could pray to Heaven to learn his daily fortune.

While others ate clay, he led people to a spring that had begun flowing again;

While others ate their own children, he led the villagers to dig up grain stored in underground cellars;

While others wandered homeless, he had already won people's hearts and built a fortress.

As the warlords of the chaotic age fought tooth and nail over a single mouthful of food, Zhao Heng looked at his full granaries and the countless people at his back, lost in thought.

Perhaps it was time for someone who could keep him well fed to take the throne?
