Lin Yi, a top engineering PhD, transmigrates into the body of a poor scholar who shares his name. He opens his eyes to a home stripped bare and a county magistrate forcing him into marriage. Facing the chaos soon to engulf the land, he smiles. Making glass? Too basic. Refining salt? Boring. His goal is to build the strongest army with modern organizational science and use physics and chemistry to crush his rivals with a technological advantage, establishing an unprecedented industrial empire in this glorious ancient world. From one village, to one county, and then to the whole land... Are kings and nobles born to their station? If an engineer can sit on the emperor’s throne, then I, Lin Yi, can sit there even more easily!
