    A special forces soldier, struck by lightning, transmigrates into the body of a blacksmith's mentally challenged son in the Great Xia Dynasty. His father dies in battle that same day, his mother dies of grief, and the government forces him into a forced marriage. His already impoverished life is further shattered. Fortunately, aided by modern knowledge, the protagonist first learns how to catch eels and promotes fishing. A tiger suddenly appears in the yard, but the protagonist easily kills it using a technique from the elementary school story "Tang the Tiger Hunter." The tiger-hunting hero deserves a reward of 1000 taels of silver, but the corrupt government embezzles 995 taels. Thus begins a power struggle with the corrupt official. The official, greedy for money, wants the protagonist to participate in bandit suppression, ideally dying in the process. Unexpectedly, the protagonist possesses incredible abilities, beheading the bandits in their stronghold. He easily defuses every trap they set. Just as the Great Qi, with an initial force of 200,000, invades, the protagonist leads a hundred-man team composed of village guards, government troops, and bandits, achieving numerous victories. He repels the powerful northern nomadic tribes and even orchestrates a battle between the two powers. The two powerful nations resolved their conflict through diplomacy, uniting to pressure the Great Xia and attempt to extort a large sum of money. However, the protagonist used a broken piece of glass to sow discord between them. The nomadic tribes descended into civil war, and the Great Xia royal family was embroiled in internal strife, resulting in the emperor's death. The princes were manipulated by their maternal relatives in a power struggle, plunging Great Xia into chaos. The protagonist, however, ultimately chose not to participate in the Great Xia's civil war, establishing a principle that during any civil war, the protagonist would personally confront any external enemies.
