After waking from a nap, a modern office worker transmigrates to the Qin dynasty and becomes the son of a village head!
No System, no cheat powers, no martial arts, and no world-defying technology. He relies solely on modern thinking and a thousand years of historical perspective to survive at the bottom of society in a time of chaos.
From the start, he’s trapped in a deadly predicament. His distant relatives are eyeing his land, scheming to seize the fertile fields and force him into deadly labor service, determined to crush the Lin family father and son!
Court intrigue is a world away. The battles in the village are the real deal!
Clan infighting, village power plays, county-office factional struggles, deals and compromises, digging up leverage, and forming alliances: everyone is sharp, with no foolish villains. They’re all crafty old foxes!
The protagonist is shrewd and patient, skilled at planning and turning circumstances to his advantage. He never charges blindly into a fight, instead using human nature and the rules to make his moves step by step.
From scraping by in a tiny corner of the countryside, to shaking up the local and county power structures, and finally entering the arena of the commandery and the imperial court.
