Transmigrating to Ancient Times: It Starts with Splitting Up the Family

After waking up, Li Fugui finds himself transmigrated to the Great Zhou, where he has become the Li family’s eldest son, a mere tool for everyone else.

His father favors his younger brother, his mother is harsh, and the family devotes all its resources to Li Jingyun’s studies.

He works from dawn until late at night, doing every backbreaking chore, yet lives in a cowshed and eats coarse grain. The slightest mistake earns him a vicious beating.

Just because he failed to weed the field ridge properly, his own father breaks his ribs with a shoulder pole and dumps him in the cowshed, leaving him to die without medicine or care.

With the awakening of his modern soul, the once-timid eldest Li son is dead for good!

When his family exploits and bullies him, he refuses to take it lying down. He stands up to them in front of everyone and argues his case.

Even if it means leaving with nothing, he will sign the family separation papers and sever these blood ties that only drain him dry!

Fortunately, his mind is packed with modern knowledge of wilderness survival and making a living in the streets!

He heads into the mountains to gather medicinal herbs and wild vegetables, then lays clever traps to catch game.

He studies how to use gypsum to make tofu and earns his first savings by setting up a stall at the market.

But his greedy relatives resent his improving fortunes. They make a scene and extort him, with every move aimed at taking his life.

Li Fugui shows them no more mercy. Armed with witnesses and evidence, he sends his vicious younger brother to the authorities to be exiled a thousand li away.

To escape the vortex of trouble, he travels far from home, only to run straight into a catastrophic flood.

Refugees overrun the land, while plague and bandits spread chaos everywhere.

In this desperate situation, he steps forward, teaching the refugees to gather herbs to fight disease, weave nets to catch fish, and set traps in the mountains to stockpile food.

He leads a group of disaster survivors in building a life from nothing, constructing defenses and turning Juaanzhuang into a fortress in troubled times.

When desperate, starving refugees launch a massive attack, he sets a series of ingenious traps and mechanisms, wipes out the invaders, and earns official permission to govern the settlement autonomously.

Face-slapping the greedy, building a thriving farm, and establishing a stronghold in a chaotic age!

Watch as Li Fugui uses his knowledge to carve out a bright future in a Great Zhou beset by war and famine!
