Bing Chujing has just finished college. During a graduation trip, he steps wrong at a historical site and transmigrates to an unknown ancient era, a thousand years in the past, in the midst of a chaotic war. The moment he emerges from the woods, he runs into the Tyrant of Shuobei, who is leading a campaign south. To avoid being mistaken for a spy and executed on the spot, he has no choice but to pretend to be a reclusive physician and survive by using cold medicine capsules.
Then, as he nervously scrapes by in the military camp, he hears something even more terrifying!
"Oh, you mean those outsiders? Before His Majesty ascended the throne, there were quite a few of them. They talked about papermaking, glass, gunpowder, steelmaking, and all sorts of things like finance and trade, government bonds and banks, real estate... In the end, His Majesty killed every last one of them."
The general's expression was cool and detached, as if he were talking about how many wild-vegetable cakes he'd eaten for dinner.
Bing Chujing trembled with fear, suddenly certain he was done for.
"Wondering why? It's simple... This is a time of chaos. Those people had nothing to back up their claims, yet they wanted the man who was then only a commandant, now His Majesty, to drain the military treasury. It all sounded promising, but they were just acting as spies. How can you do all that in the middle of a military campaign? And what's more, they wanted a share of the military command... Your Majesty!"
"Physician Bing, do you think people who say things that undermine military morale deserve to die?"
The Tyrant suddenly appeared, lifting the tent flap. In the moonlight, his face looked both wickedly sinister and strikingly handsome as he lowered his gaze and spoke coldly.
"Y-yes... They deserve to die."
Huddled beneath the Tyrant's bearskin cloak, Bing Chujing broke into a cold sweat.

Tips:
1. The protagonist can travel between the two worlds in spirit form, look up information, and bring items with him.
2. Lighthearted comedy with farming and infrastructure-building. The protagonist is a college guy: naive and very timid. Somewhat of a everyone-loves-him story.
3. The setting is a fictional era inspired by the Qin and Han dynasties. The author knows nothing about history, physics, science, biology, and a lot, a lot more... So the author-bot will catch any nitpicking experts, mix them with number 48 concrete, stir in potassium permanganate, coat them in ketchup, and put them in a beaker with *** [Error!]
