Finding Love in Desperate Times

Lin Mo, a modern young man, dies suddenly from working overtime and accidentally transmigrates to the Great Zhou Dynasty. He becomes a casualty of political infighting, exiled to Blackwater Village in the northern frontier wasteland and appointed village chief while still serving his sentence.

Traveling with him are three wives, all guilty of grave crimes yet each exceptionally beautiful and talented: Ye Zhaozhao, born into a family of generals and skilled in martial arts; Su Wanqing, clever and perceptive, from a family of scholars; and A Man, a spirited and untamed daughter of the mountain people.

Faced with a dilapidated village, hostile villagers, vicious bandits, a harsh natural environment, and the hidden forces of the imperial court bent on wiping them out root and branch, Lin Mo has nothing to his name except his modern knowledge, vision, and drive.
