Zhao Shu’an opens his eyes and finds himself in the sixth year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty, now the impoverished village chief of Lantian Village in Lantian County.
The village is short on food, coal, and labor. It’s so poor that even a mouse would leave with tears in its eyes.
Fortunately, he binds himself to the Lie Flat and Accumulate Blessings System.
As long as he calmly farms, lies flat, and improves people’s lives, he can claim rewards.
So he introduces heated brick beds, greenhouses, beehive briquettes, village rules, and communal grain stores, one by one.
Before long, little Lantian Village becomes a prosperous community famous far and wide.
Zhao Shu’an originally just wanted to stick to his tiny plot of land and be a laid-back village chief no one complained about.
Who could have guessed that a blizzard would block the roads, bringing a noblewoman named Sun Wugou and her daughter, Li Yushu, to seek shelter in the village?
Zhao Shu’an never imagined that the mother was Empress Zhangsun and her daughter was the sixteen-year-old Princess Changle, Li Lizhi.
From that night on, Lantian Village’s fate changed, and Zhao Shu’an’s life went completely off course.
He starts out farming and ends up farming his way into Chang’an. He starts out lying flat and ends up becoming the greatest village chief in the Tang Dynasty.
