Lin Yan, an archaeologist and inheritor of ancient craftsmanship, came into contact with a Feng Shui jade from the Warring States Period, and was transported to the end of the Yong Dynasty during an earthquake - a troubled time in which imperial power fell, princes were divided, and the five elements were out of balance.
At the beginning, he is a dying orphan boy in Qingzhu Village on the southwest border. He has no golden finger to bless him, and no heaven-defying halo. He only has ancient skills and Feng Shui knowledge, which are his only capital for survival.
In troubled times, the people exchange their children for food, the soil and salt poison their lives, plagues are rampant, wild beasts are everywhere, nomadic cavalry from the north are suppressing the land, and aristocratic families monopolize resources and abuse Feng Shui, causing constant natural disasters. Lin Yan used plant ash and salt to relieve the poverty of the villagers, exchanged ancient rice wine for food and medicine, relied on real ancient recipes to treat plague wounds, relied on home-made iron smelting and simple cement to build a city to defend against enemies. Every craft is authentic and testable, and every prescription comes from classics.
Following the principles of the five elements' mutual support and mutual restraint, he selected sites to build villages, laid out workshops, and arranged troops to avoid floods, prevent plagues, and defeat powerful enemies. From an orphan boy who was questioned by the villagers, to a village leader who united people's hearts, from building an impregnable green bamboo fort, to forming a five-element coalition to deal with the princes, and then to the northern expedition to the Central Plains, defeating aristocratic families, and expelling the barbarians.
Betrayed by his allies, surrounded and suppressed by powerful enemies, and ravaged by plague, he was tested by life and death. He lost his youthfulness and forbearance, and finally became a ruthless and wise king in troubled times. Use ancient laws to stabilize people's livelihood, use Feng Shui to determine the universe, repair the imbalance of the five elements in the world, overthrow the decadent dynasty, and establish a Great Yan Dynasty with abundant grain, advanced medicine, and peace in the world.
There is no fictitious craftsmanship, no suspended settings, every step of counterattack is based on real skills, and every game contains the wisdom of the five elements. Watch Lin Yan survive in the wilderness and change his fate step by step.
