The protagonist, Chen Haocong, accidentally transmigrates to the Minghan Dynasty. At the time, Situ Hui, Director of the Imperial Astronomy Bureau, is gravely ill, and Chen Haocong wins a competition to take over the position. From then on, Chen Haocong draws on his knowledge of the Book of Changes, along with the scientific knowledge and advanced thinking unique to a modern person, to keep inventing new things. The land-allotment system, movable-type printing, the abacus, Chinese chess, refined salt, gunpowder, and more: every invention is astonishing for its time.
