Chen Xun'an transmigrates into the body of a low-ranking county magistrate banished to a place with a near-zero chance of survival. The area has just endured a severe drought and the ravages of war. Only one person in ten remains, and even the county office's mice have to pack up and move away in tears.
On his first day in office, the Mandate of Heaven System descends. Every day, he can revise three fated events within his jurisdiction.
[Original fate: Tonight, a swarm of mice will devour the county office's last remaining provisions.]
[Revised fate: Tonight, a dozen or so wildcats will enter the county office and kill every mouse, saving the provisions.]
[Original fate: The fallen kingdom's princess will accidentally arrive here and die of exposure to the cold.]
[Revised fate: The fallen kingdom's princess will encounter a traveling physician and receive medicinal herbs, making a full recovery.]
[Original fate: A band of defeated soldiers will pass through and massacre the village.]
[Revised fate: A band of defeated soldiers will pass through, but a mutiny will break out and leave both sides badly wounded.]
Chen Xun'an quietly sits in the county office reviewing documents each day, time and again turning certain death into a chance to survive.
He finds a water source, avoids bandit raids, and sees the population under his rule grow as wasteland turns into fertile fields.
By the time the warlords discover this insignificant border county, it has already become the world's granary and a hidden paradise without anyone noticing...
At the beginning, water and fish come out of a dry well, so why not create an underground warehouse for hiding money, food, and weapons at the same time?
Well written and with a strong sense of rhythm!
Brainless and cool article, boring to read
