Yu Junting wakes up to find he’s become a poor scholar in Niushan Village of the Great Liang Dynasty. His home is bare, his mother is gravely ill, his little sister is skin and bones, and his only asset is half an acre of poor farmland. Worse still, there isn’t a single cow in the whole village.
But his mind is packed with modern knowledge of agriculture, chemistry, and engineering. Starting with a wild boar and a handful of lime, he improves the soil, makes soap, brews strong liquor, and sets up a cooperative, leading the whole village to turn its fortunes around. As his business grows, the officials come calling. As he rises through the ranks, enemies come after him. And after he wins a war, a barbarian princess becomes his prisoner...
Princess Yelü Mingyue calls him a “Han dog,” so he invites her to drink milk tea. Murong Qing, the Wang Estate’s top student, challenges him to a math problem, so he crushes her with calculus. The gentle older-sister type Su Wanqing tries to swallow up his trading company, so he turns around and offers her an equity incentive plan.
Farming, commerce, reform, putting down rebellions, the Industrial Revolution: with his modern way of thinking, he turns the ancient world upside down. Three women go from rivals to confidantes, and from confidantes to... Yu Junting’s head grows as big as a barrel. “Why don’t you fight it out first and call me when you’re done?”
A million-character feel-good power fantasy packed with knowledge-based domination, humorous face-slapping, and a harem where the women don’t fight for favor. Watch a modern overachiever become a legend in the Great Liang Dynasty.
