In the third year of Jian'an, there was a severe drought and people died of hunger everywhere. There was a young man in Jie County, Hedong County. His surname was Guan, his given name was Qi, and his courtesy name was Keqi. He was sixteen years old, his family was extremely poor, both his parents were dead, and he only had to guard two shabby houses and three acres of thin farmland. This year, the locust plague passed through the country, and the fields were harvestless, and they were about to starve to death. In order to get a bite of food, Guan Qi entered the county town and embarked on a road he had never imagined. He worked as a clerk, a guard, a private salt dealer, and a county soldier. From a poor family, he was gradually involved in the world's conflicts. When someone asked him how he got to where he is today, he said, "I just don't want to starve to death."
In his eighth reincarnation, he thought he had all the cards.
Until he heard the dead man speak.
