About this drama

Ji Yan, the deposed crown prince of Great Zhou, was framed and exiled to the desolate frontier city of Mocheng. There, he awakened the Infinite Resource System—and its first unlock was a bottomless supply of plain porridge. At that very moment, the garrison troops were on the verge of mutiny due to starvation. Ji Yan fed them with his porridge, winning the loyalty of General Yun Wuyue and the entire army. The corrupt grain merchants, backed by the treacherous Concubine Wan, hoarded supplies and fed the refugees with bran and mud. Ji Yan exposed their fraud, executed all four merchants on the spot—even when the Second Prince rushed in to stop him—and earned the heart of the people. Concubine Wan struck back. She ordered Ji Yan to take in a plague-stricken heavy cavalry unit, hoping the disease would destroy Mocheng. Ji Yan unlocked unlimited antibiotics from his system, healed every soldier, and won the allegiance of their commander, Jiang Muxue. Then came the Wolf Clan—one hundred thousand invaders. Ji Yan unlocked unlimited Gatling guns. The wolves were annihilated. During the battle, he discovered a shocking truth: his grandfather, the Grand Marshal, had been murdered by the Emperor in league with the Wolf Clan. Enraged, the Emperor sent a million troops to crush Mocheng. Ji Yan, armed with Gatling guns and rocket launchers, crushed them instead. With just fifty elite warriors, he stormed through every checkpoint and reached the capital. In the imperial hall, he presented proof of the Emperor’s treason, purged the court, forced the abdication, and freed his imprisoned mother. Crowned emperor, he distributed endless grain across the land, crushed thirty-six rebellious warlords, conquered the northern barbarians, and unified the realm. History would remember his reign as the Golden Age of Emperor Yan.
