After transmigrating into the chaos of the late Tang, Lin Xiao nearly starves to death from the start. Regional warlords carve up the land, and human lives are worth less than grass. A noble family's young lady saves him, and he becomes a lowly stable hand. In everyone else's eyes, he's a wretched refugee, but in secret he uses modern knowledge to improve farm tools and train a private army. When rebel troops breach the city walls and everyone trembles in fear, Lin Xiao quietly draws the steel blade he's forged and summons his fierce, well-trained soldiers. This stable hand is no pushover! From refugee to warlord, he's here to lay down some rules in this chaotic age!
