Reborn as the Village Waste, He became the Hunter of Mountains
When an elite modern-day soldier dies during a mission, he expects oblivion-not a second life. He awakens in the body of Xin Pengxi, a notorious drunkard and gambler whose name is spoken with disappointment throughout the village. Burdened by debts, a ruined reputation, and the scars left on those closest to him, Pengxi had spent years drowning his family in misery. Now, a stranger occupies his body, carrying memories of another world and skills centuries ahead of his time. Waiting for him at home are the people who have suffered the most: his wary wife, Lin Yue; his timid young daughter, Xin Yi; and his family members, Xin Hua and Xin Ting, who have long since lost faith in the man he used to be. But earning their trust proves far more difficult than surviving a battlefield. Determined to make amends for sins he never committed yet now carries, Xin Pengxi begins a new life from the ground up. He ventures into the mountains to hunt, gathers resources from the wilderness, and uses knowledge from the modern world to create innovations far beyond his era. With every meal placed on the table, every promise kept, and every hardship shared, he slowly chips away at the fear and resentment surrounding him. As seasons pass, a broken household begins to heal. A frightened child learns to smile again. A wounded wife dares to hope. A family once torn apart discovers what it means to love and be loved. Yet this is more than the story of one man's redemption. It is a tale of rebuilding lives, transforming a struggling village into a thriving community, and proving that true strength is not found on the battlefield, but in the courage to protect, provide, and cherish those who call you family. In a world that gave him a second chance, Xin Pengxi will forge not only a new future-but a place where everyone can finally call home.
