Lawrence, a modern man, transmigrates into the magistrate of famine-stricken River County. He uses pig feed to demonstrate resolve, congee with pickles to win over soldiers, and sees through Evan's schemes. With instant noodles and sausages, he boosts morale, turns the tide, and kills rebel leader Simon. After becoming Governor of GL Commandery, he adopts Roman's plan to confiscate gentry grain and uses heating patches to ruin the Zion family economically. Upon obtaining the "Satisfaction" system, he distributes supplies to the people, who eventually proclaim him Emperor.
