In the Year of Famine, I Become Emperor by Scavenging!

Ye Wuming, a lowborn man, is reborn in a year of famine and discovers that the clay basin his mother left behind can be traded for modern-day trash!

Waste cooking oil? High-salt, heavy-oil food!

Glass beads? The finest colored glaze!

Who renovates their house and tosses rebar out without sorting it?

And who puts a pistol in a garbage bag?

Who throws away a copy of Selected Works on Thought Reform without reading it?

And who hid the imperial jade seal in my fridge?

My name is Ye Wuming. I'm a nobody who sells trash during a famine. I really don't want to start a rebellion and become emperor!
