I Became an Old Man and Saved My Family from Famine with Traditional Chinese Medicine

When veteran Chinese doctor Cheng Jianguo has an accident, he transmigrates to the Great Ning Dynasty, becoming a poor, forty-five-year-old man with nothing to his name and a high fever that has nearly killed him.

Their home is bare, the rice jar is almost empty, and his children and grandchildren are going hungry. The family is destitute, and with a severe drought and natural disasters looming, they are unlikely to survive the coming famine.

The original owner was violent and harsh, and left behind little of value. All Cheng Jianguo inherits is a family on the brink of ruin and loved ones filled with fear.

Fortunately, he possesses a lifetime of traditional Chinese medical knowledge. He understands the medicinal properties of plants and can see the disaster that lies ahead.

He won't borrow from loan sharks or beg anyone for help. Cheng Jianguo bends down to identify herbs and climbs into the mountains to dig for medicinal plants. With his medical skills, he gathers herbs, trades them for money and food, stores clean water, and puts away grain, turning his family's fortunes around.

He protects his family, sets rules, steadies their nerves, and helps them avoid danger. With his kind and sensible children and grandchildren by his side, he builds up their resources before the drought and famine arrive, fighting for survival one step at a time amid the chaos.

They avoid natural disasters, food shortages, and riots among refugees. After enduring the worst years of famine, Cheng Jianguo uses his superb medical skills to establish himself, open a clinic, and treat the sick, saving lives while building up the family business.

From a dilapidated thatched hut and barely enough to eat, to a thriving family business and a secure, prosperous life, watch as this transmigrated old man defies fate, leads his family to turn their fortunes around, survive the exodus, and build a life of comfort and prosperity for generations to come!
