(No golden finger, no pocket dimension.) Li Zhan, a journalist from Northeast China, falls into the water while rescuing someone during a flood and transmigrates into the body of Li Zhan, the polo-loving Emperor Jingzong of Tang. The moment he opens his eyes, he faces one of the most absurd coups in history. Drawing on his memories, he swiftly puts down the rebellion. From then on, he uses sports and journalism as twin levers to break the late Tang Dynasty's deadlock: he counters eunuchs and warlord governors through cuju, guides public opinion with the Great Tang Daily, hosts an "International Games" to showcase China's prestige, and strengthens the nation through governance by scholar-officials and the power of public opinion. In the end, he finds a way to save himself and gives the Tang Dynasty a new lease on life.
