I Just Wanted My Family to Have Enough to Eat, and You Want Me to Conquer the Central Plains?

Lin Dong transmigrates from the modern world to ancient times, to the Great Chu Dynasty, newly founded not long ago. But when he opens his eyes, he discovers that he has ended up at the very bottom of society, in a poor farming household where there is never enough to eat or wear!

Lin Dong: No problem. With all the knowledge I mastered as a top student in the modern world, making use of the wild game and rare medicinal herbs all over these mountains should be easy!

Tiger bones, bear paws, sable, deer antler: the ancients don't know what they're worth, but I do!

Cordyceps, thousand-year-old lingzhi, and snow lotuses from icy peaks: I know all about their life-extending, health-boosting properties!

Before long, Lin Dong becomes a wealthy man famous far and wide. The princess, heiresses from powerful families, and female generals all come knocking to propose marriage!

Lin Dong: You're only qualified to be concubines, because I still have my warmhearted sister-in-law to make my wife!

Prince Jing of Zhongshan: Lin Dong, will you lead the cavalry to help me purge the court and overthrow the corrupt emperor?

Lin Dong: I just want to provide for my family. Why are you asking me to fight for control of the empire?
