The Great Yin suffered three years of drought. Thousands of miles of land lay barren, and the dead from starvation were everywhere.
The incompetent court skimmed disaster relief grain, while local officials lined their own pockets. County Magistrate Lu Jing'an looked anxiously at the thousands of starving people outside his office, waiting to die.
The moment he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated to a modern film set in Hengdian!
From then on, the entertainment industry had a superhuman new star.
Playing a civil official? He delivered a blood-tear-filled memorial in the imperial palace, and the National Museum hailed his portrayal of formal court rituals as a textbook example!
Playing a military general? He leaped across rooftops without wires and took on the entire stunt team with a single spear. His real martial arts skills set the internet ablaze!
His name explodes across trending topics, his fees top a hundred million, and major brands beg him to endorse their products!
He buys rice nearing its expiration date and all kinds of food to bring back to the ancient county office. He even brings high-yield seeds, antibiotics, entire batches of industrial riot shields, high-carbon alloy blades, tactical radios, drones, and more!
When the Great Yin descends into chaos, bandits rise in every corner, and corrupt officials drive a million starving people into rebellion,
the remote county of Yong'an becomes a paradise on earth, piled high with sweet potatoes and potatoes, with the smell of meat wafting for miles!
When bandits, bullies, and armies of corrupt officials come to attack, the county office gates swing open with a roar.
Tens of thousands of "starving refugees," armed to the teeth, wear modern special-forces riot armor and wield alloy-steel Tang blades. Drones circle overhead to scout, while powerful searchlights descend like divine punishment, crushing the enemy with overwhelming technological superiority!
The bullies weep, the corrupt officials wet themselves, and the foolish emperor collapses in terror.
With beacon fires blazing across the land and warlords fighting for supremacy, the people of the realm recognize only Yong'an City.
A million elite soldiers march across the land, then kneel together before the palace, holding up a dragon robe and crying out:
"The Mandate of Heaven has collapsed, but only you have saved countless lives! Please, Lu the Just, ascend the throne!"
