Jiang Yun, a history major, transmigrates to another world and becomes the knight lord of a crumbling manor.
Faced with a deceitful steward, a declining domain, crushing levies from his liege lord, and an imminent noble war, the only thing he can rely on is a mysterious System deep in his mind.
The System can keep track of supplies and locate mineral deposits. By completing tasks, he can also obtain blueprints and knowledge from other eras.
Jiang Yun starts by auditing the accounts. He outmaneuvers the steward, wins the people's support, gathers the military levy, and sets out on his journey. On his very first campaign, he outwits a night raid and earns merit on the battlefield, winning his liege lord's favor and his first fortune.
He clears wasteland, builds irrigation works, and drives off those who covet his lands, turning his barren domain into a thriving one. He explores the mountains, makes allies, acquires precious resources from magical beasts, and uncovers an ancient secret hidden behind the world: a fragment of a key that unlocks the legacy of a lost empire.
With a traitor lurking within and enemies surrounding him, the shadow of an orc invasion falls over the continent. Jiang Yun rises step by step through blood and fire, from knight to baron. After gathering all five key fragments, he finally opens the imperial treasure buried for a thousand years.
What he gains is not just wealth, but also a lost magical core and knowledge far beyond its time.
From then on, magical towers rise across his domain, and workshops combining magic and machinery roar to life. A “Southern Realm Guardian Alliance,” bound together by technology and progress, quietly rises to challenge the decaying old order and unknown threats from afar.
Jiang Yun's story is a hard-core farming epic, from rags to prosperity and power. It is also the legend of a modern soul who wields an ancient legacy to kindle the flame of civilization in a world of sword and sorcery, and usher in a new age.
