After transmigrating, Su Wen finds himself the son of a poor family in the Great Yan Dynasty, living in a house with bare walls. There’s no food to spare, the neighbors bully them, and the road ahead is bleak.
Fortunately, he has modern knowledge and perspective, and finds a way to survive despite his desperate poverty. He clears land to make a living, cleverly solves difficult problems, and makes a name for himself, climbing out of the mud one step at a time from his humble beginnings in the countryside.
He enters officialdom, fights corrupt officials, protects the people, and brings peace to a troubled age. Once an ordinary nobody lost in the dust, he relies on his own strength to overcome every obstacle, rise to the top, and make his name in the history books.
