Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

Synopsis

Qiao Jiwei, a former corporate leader, wakes up in a precarious situation within the Ming Dynasty. Instead of a smooth transition, he faces familial abuse from a cruel mother and brother, eventually being sold into a peasant household. Survival becomes the primary objective, leading to a series of entrepreneurial ventures involving the creation of wheat rubbing machines and the introduction of sorghum wine and fish tofu to secure financial independence. The tone starts with a heavy emphasis on hunger and cold, gradually shifting toward wealth accumulation and romantic entanglement when he is wed to a high-ranking prince. The story rewards those who enjoy detailed domestic management and a slow-burn transition from poverty to courtly intrigue. Conversely, those seeking strict historical accuracy will find the author's casual approach to the period frustrating. The stakes evolve from simple survival to complex power dynamics as Qiao Jiwei utilizes his shrewd nature to seek revenge against those who wronged him.
