Modern archaeologist Lin Ye transmigrates to ancient times and becomes a top-ranking scholar abandoned by his family.
With parents who show him no love and siblings who scheme against one another, and a corrupt emperor above him and treacherous officials below, Lin Ye simply volunteers to become a lowly county magistrate on the frontier.
Rather than eat tree bark and boil grass roots, he can hunt tigers in the mountains and feast on wolves. Rather than wear rags, he can raise silkworms and weave cloth. Lin Ye takes up his longbow and heads into the mountains to hunt, hoping only to put food on the table. Who would have thought he would hunt not only wolves and wild beasts, but also a fugitive empress, and win the hearts of the people throughout the realm?
When the barbarians invade and the land lies in ruins, everyone else flees in chaos, while Lin Ye and the villagers enjoy a county where the elderly are cared for and children are raised.
