Transmigrated to Ancient Times: Starting with Foraging for Wild Greens

Zhao Guangsheng transmigrated.

The moment he opened his eyes, he found five children at home, hungry and skin and bones. His wife was so thin she looked like a scrap of paper, and all seven of them were crowded into a drafty mud house with nothing to eat.

Fortunately, he still had the knowledge from his previous life.

The hills behind the village were covered in shepherd’s purse and goosefoot. He gathered some and let his wife and children eat their fill.

Other people avoided the snakes in the grass. He made traps, caught them, and sold them to an apothecary. One snake brought in a tael of silver.

The dandelions and honeysuckle by the road were weeds to the villagers. He processed them into medicine and sold them for a high price, securing a fifty-tael advance.

From catching snakes to gathering herbs, from working alone to supplying the whole village, Zhao Guangsheng led his family to a better life.

They repaired the house, saved up silver, and put meat in his wife and children’s bowls.

The lazy man of the past became the best moneymaker in the village. Jealous rivals tried to steal his business, but couldn’t even get a foot in the door.

And the wife whose heart he had once broken watched him change day by day, until her eyes finally reddened in secret.

This man really did seem different.

Then one day, the Crown Prince suddenly summoned him, leaving Zhao Guangsheng dumbfounded.

Wait, I just started out gathering wild vegetables. How did I end up becoming an official…

[Traditional historical farming + transmigration and comeback + cozy daily life + ancient court politics. No angst or misunderstandings, just a steady rise to wealth. Pure fun!]
