Others transmigrate and become young masters or royal consorts. The moment I opened my eyes, I was a starving corpse in a world torn by chaos.
Years of drought, a rotten court, parents starved to death, our ancestral home seized by my uncle, and my cruel aunt showing up to demand repayment. All I had left was a little sister, thin as a skeleton and nearly sold for food. The whole village was waiting for the two of us to die.
Just when I thought there was no way out...

[Novice gift pack: portable space, fifty kilos of grain, and a special privilege to play dirty]
I smiled.
In my previous life, I was a corporate grind. In this life, I never play by the rules.
Want to wipe out my awful relatives? One piece of cured meat is all it takes to make them beg on their knees.
Want to raid and burn our village? A little trick and three loads of grain send three hundred refugees packing.
Want to bleed us dry with layers of harsh taxes? I'll play poor and put on an act, leading the county magistrate around by the nose.
Want to wreak havoc after coming down from the mountains? I'll bring you into the fold, put the bandits to work in the fields and train them in martial arts, then make them my most loyal private army.
The world talks of benevolence, follows rules, and cares about saving face. I believe in just one thing: survive, protect my sister, and do as I please in this chaotic age!
Sign in for supplies, cultivate to become invincible, win hearts, and plan every step.
From a starving wretch to a ruler in a chaotic age, from a broken hut to ruling an entire territory.
Don't ask why I don't follow the usual script. The answer is simple: this transmigrator plays dirty!
