Two Worlds: How Did You Bring Someone from Another World Back?

After three years of severe drought, the imperial court doubles its grain levy, and demons roam the mountains.

At twenty-six, Dong Gediao hands over the last half-sack of grain. His family has only three days left to live.

He has no choice but to go into the mountains, even though his father was carried home last month with a leg broken by a demon wolf.

But on this trip, his foot slips in a tree hollow deep in the mountains, and he falls into another world: towering buildings, busy streets, and ordinary people's daily wages worth more than his family's monthly rations.

On one side is a famine-stricken age of chaos, where lives are cheap and the strong rule.

On the other is a peaceful, prosperous age, with a monthly salary of three thousand and pay for a day's work.

By day, he's a worker at a city bakery, sweeping floors and selling goods for wages, while also hauling modern rice, flour, cooking oil, medicine, and iron tools back to ancient times.

By night, he's a ninth-rank martial artist in the Great Qian Dynasty, tempering his body and hunting demons. Using the resource gap between the two worlds, he fights tooth and nail to keep his family of five alive.

The imperial court is heartless, treating the people like dogs beneath its feet.

Then don't blame me for flipping the table.

But the secrets of the two worlds can't stay hidden forever.

By the day the modern government comes knocking, Dong Gediao is already prepared to flee.

But instead of handcuffs, they slide a cooperation agreement across the table.

"The country doesn't need your share of the grain. But your world is worth developing together."
