When top mercenary Qin Lie opens his eyes, he has become a poor young man in a forest region in 1970, nearly starved to death.
For other people, entering the deep mountains is a brush with death. For him, it means getting everything for free!
His peerless skills give him an overwhelming edge. Wild boars, muntjacs, and century-old ginseng all over the mountains become his personal mobile ATMs.
His hypocritical fiancee thinks he's too poor and wants to break off their engagement? His biased father forces him out of the family with nothing?
Qin Lie signs the severance agreement without hesitation. "Good riddance. And I'm definitely going to spoil my sweet little wife!"
His awful family waits for him to starve to death. Instead, he roasts wild boar, stews pheasants, and fries meatballs by the village every day, making the whole commune sneak over to peek through the walls in the middle of the night!
He only wanted to hunt and dote on his wife, living a quiet life. But his wild schemes just keep coming: gathering mountain goods, setting up a deer farm, and opening a cannery. He ends up lifting the whole village along with him!
Hua Xi in the south, Da Qiu in the north?
Qin Lie hefts his hunting rifle and grins. "Sorry, folks. I'm putting up the sign for the world's number one village first!"
The language is rich and varied, and the imagery is vivid.
