Lin Bei, twenty-five years old, with a college diploma, has spent three years tightening screws at Foxconn. He earns 4,800 yuan a month, owes 23,000 yuan, and has no car, no home, and no girlfriend. His team leader berates him, his coworkers laugh at him, and his relatives look down on him.
A second before he dies from overwork, his final thought is: If I could start over, I'd never accept my fate!
When he opens his eyes again, he's a beggar in an ancient temple. His clothes are in tatters, his stomach is empty, and beggars surround him.
But Lin Bei smiles. This isn't a dead end; it's a God-given opportunity!
A “seafood poisoning” incident leads him to save the young master of a marquis's household with a bowl of water mixed with activated charcoal and cotton fluff, launching an explosive new life:
He makes paper, manufactures cannons, and builds repeating crossbows, striking fear into enemy troops;
With military strategy, land reclamation, and new trade routes, he helps his ruler unify the realm;
A princess falls for him, the emperor arranges his marriage, and the people revere him.
The good-for-nothing who couldn't even tighten a screw has become a peerless strategist, able to turn the tides of power from the heart of the court!
