"Reverse Journey to the Ming Dynasty"
The protagonist Liu Haoyu, a recent college graduate in modern society, accidentally fell into a 10,000-foot cliff while traveling in the Kunlun Mountains. When he woke up, he found that he had an extra skill in his mind and a simple ring on his index finger. When he rubbed the ring on his hand, he accidentally triggered a space-time rift and was involved in the Ming Dynasty five hundred years ago. He found himself in a strange yet familiar time and space, feeling both surprised and delighted.
Liu Haoyu used his knowledge to skillfully gain a foothold in Ming society. He became an unknown practitioner and met a woman, Zhao Hanming, while traveling abroad. Zhao Hanming's father, Zhao Yanche, was an official in the court.
Slowly, Liu Haoyu secretly observed the politics, economy and culture of this era. He witnessed the cruelty of the power struggle and felt the suffering of the people.
With a deeper understanding of Ming Dynasty society, Liu Haoyu gradually realized that this era was facing the dilemma of internal and external troubles. He is caught in a moral and emotional entanglement: should he choose to stay out of it, or should he bravely stand up and bring a glimmer of hope for change in this era?
After careful consideration, Liu Haoyu decided to use his knowledge and wisdom to secretly promote a series of reforms. He gave advice to Zhao Hanming's father, Zhao Yanche, and asked him to help the emperor see through the conspiracies of powerful officials, promote the development of agriculture and commerce, and improve the living standards of the people. Zhao Yanche's actions shocked the government and the public, and made him the target of public criticism.
However, the Zhao family's troubles can always be easily resolved by Liu Haoyu...
