The Rise of the Common People

This is a world ravaged by a great drought, where people eat one another, and savagery coexists with the hypocritical, low-level civilization.

Shi Yi, a skilled modern artisan and master craftsman, inexplicably transmigrates into the body of a good-for-nothing villager from the mountains.

From the start, he trades a pound of rice for an unparalleled beauty. He plans to keep a low profile in the village with her, farm, hunt, have a few children, and earn a little silver for a peaceful, carefree life.

But things don't go as planned. The pressures of survival force him to rely on his modern knowledge and experience as he develops trade, smelts iron, trains troops, and builds cities...

Years later, standing atop a peak with a banner in hand, he gazes toward the capital and roars: Are kings and nobles born to their station?

If the dynasty oppresses me, I'll raze it to the ground!

If foreign powers humiliate me, I'll destroy every enemy who invades!

If the world will not accept me, then I'll overturn it!

I'll show you what it means to crush a civilization with a lower-dimensional attack!
