share time: 2025-12-19 06:01:08

Lin Chuan, chief of Qingniu Village, was the town’s biggest pushover—shielding starving villagers from debt collectors, enduring his fiancée’s breakup threat over his poverty, living like a doormat. Until he found *The Strategy of Farming and Warfare* (by a founding hero) and an imperial seal fragment in the ancestral hall—revealing he’s a descendant of the “Farm Sage” who helped the emperor found the dynasty! Using the book’s wisdom, he improved tools, grew high-yield rice, and led villagers to fend off land grabbers. The emperor visited incognito and made him “Vice Emperor” (in charge of national agriculture). But Lin refused the capital’s glory: “My roots are in Qingniu.” Now, he still squats in fields with a hoe, turning Qingniu into “No.1 Village Under Heaven” and winning back his fiancée.
