Curator note

The Wei and Jin dynasties were a time of great romance and the Five Barbarian Tribes were about to wreak havoc on the Central Plains. This was the era Zhao Hanzhang had traveled to. Commoners and the poor suffered greatly, while the noble families could only dream of officialdom. To prevent the elite from fleeing south, to reduce the number of starving people, and to ensure that every common person has enough to eat, Zhao Hanzhang had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and get to work. There was no idle talk during the Wei and Jin dynasties; we, the common people, are just there to earn a living! This is a story about a couple who, during a chaotic world, strive to build a business and survive. It's also known as "I'm Building Infrastructure in a Chaotic World." On his way back to school after a blind date, Zhao Hanzhang suffers an accident and wakes up to find himself in the chaotic Northern and Southern Dynasties. In this era of broken order and where etiquette and morality have been abandoned, there are still people who refuse to submit to fate, yearn for freedom, and strive optimistically.
