He’s transmigrated. Lin Chen has crossed into an alternate ancient dynasty called Great Zhou.

When he opens his eyes, he has a younger brother and a younger sister, and they are in Liangzhou near the frontier.

Fortunately, he starts with the strength of nine oxen and archery that can hit a target from a hundred paces. Carrying a three-stone bow, Lin Chen plunges into the back hills of the village.
