The protagonist, a powerful being, transmigrates, using a single palace skill to shatter the bandits' lustful courage, confiscating everything and laying the foundation for his rise to wealth. From then on, he embarks on a carefree life of farming, raising troops, conquering the world, and casually pursuing beautiful women. There's no system; the protagonist possesses some medical skills and occasionally consults illustrated medical manuals. The story is fast-paced, lighthearted, and humorous.

   I am Qi Ming, from a tea-buying boy in Yunlan City to the King of Ten Thousand Insects who rules the Southern Territory. The Xuan Shuang Iron Cavalry crushed the Yan Huang's encirclement, and the bonfires of the Black Rock Tribe illuminated the path of power struggles. I dismantled Pan Chi's arranged marriage scheme and subdued 20,000 surrendered soldiers with Hong Tao's city-breaking techniques. The world calls me cold and ruthless, but they know not the warmth of Yue Niang's coarse cotton clothes on cold nights, nor the icy jade pendant of Changsun Qin branded on my chest. Some laugh at my lonely minister without an heir, but it is precisely this name of "bastard" that compels me to firmly grasp the Southern Territory's tiger tally. If destiny favors the common people, what fear is there of paving the way with blood? The nine heavens will ultimately bear the name Qi Ming.
