A Dragon Rises from the Sugarcane Fields

At the end of the Zhenguan era, a severe drought struck Jiangnan, leaving the land strewn with the dead.

A modern sugar-making technician transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty, becoming a penniless commoner from a humble family.

With no money, influence, family, or support,

he made sugarcane fields his foundation and his skills his weapon. He improved sugarcane varieties, revolutionized sugar-making methods, and produced fine cane sugar as clear as snow and sweet as crystals.

Its fragrance and sweetness spread across the countryside, bringing relief to refugees.

From a small sugarcane field, he built a fortune that made him one of the richest men in the region, and forged a steady path to success.

He took no part in rebellion and formed no factions.

He relied solely on industry to help the people and commerce to serve the country, providing disaster relief, stabilizing prices, opening trade routes, and benefiting sugarcane farmers.

As the court changed and the succession was settled,

he seized the opportunity to support the new ruler and contribute to the nation's prosperity and people's livelihood.

From an ordinary commoner to a man who benefited an entire region and took his place at court,

he never altered the official history or stirred up violence.

With nothing but his skill in making sweet treats, he forged a legend in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, rising from sugarcane fields to the imperial court.
