I Tore Tigers and Leopards Apart, Then Carved Through the Dynasty to Claim the Throne!

[The Great Famine: King of Hunters] [What to Do When Your Sister-in-Law Is Too Charming] [Stockpiling Grain Until I Become Emperor!]

"Pfft!"

The instant blood spurted from the throat of soldier Chen Ping'an, he suddenly opened his eyes!

Before him was a drafty shack. Beneath him was a hard earthen bed, and beside him... his scantily clad sister-in-law, blushing to the tips of her ears?

"Uncle... It's cold. These pants... let's take turns wearing them..."

A disastrous start! The Great Famine had left corpses strewn across the land. Their home was bare, with only one pair of pants to cover themselves. Desperate to survive, his sister-in-law had a timid blush in the corners of her eyes...

Chen Ping'an clenched his fists. In my previous life, I defended my country. In this one, I'll make sure my sister-in-law survives!

He took up the battered bow his brother had left behind and ventured into the murderous graveyard!

The fierce tiger of Jingyang Ridge? Skin it, butcher it, and stew it!

The black bear of Longpan Mountain? Beat it into submission and make it haul the prey!

In winter, he hunted sable to trade for silver. In summer, he dug for ginseng to trade for grain. Deep in the mountains, he put wild beasts to work like livestock, and piled gold and silver into mountains!

But who could have imagined it?

He'd only just put a white wolf in a new collar when General Feilong showed up with fine wine to become sworn brothers: "Brother, half this realm is yours!"

Even more absurdly, the princess herself stormed into the mountains wrapped in a cloak. "Chen Lang, I... I could warm your bed, all right?"

The emperors of seven kingdoms fought to send him princesses, while his sister-in-law clutched the new cotton pants she'd sewn, eyes red. "Uncle... will they... will they take your pants?"

Chen Ping'an shielded her behind him, shot an arrow through a boulder ten feet away, and smiled with narrowed eyes. "Who in this world is worthy of taking you away from me?"

Will the Nine Provinces descend into chaos? One arrow from him decides life and death!

But all he wants is to stockpile enough grain for his sister-in-law and keep their bed warm... So how did he end up catching the attention of the entire empire?
