After an accident, modern scholar Lin Mo transmigrates to the Qin dynasty and becomes the crown prince’s tutor. Not only is he deeply versed in the sciences, but he also possesses a wealth of knowledge in the humanities. In an age rife with political intrigue and war, his name becomes legendary.
Lin Mo was an obscure scholar in the modern world, yet he stirred up a storm in the ancient one. With knowledge far ahead of his time, he guides Crown Prince Ying Zheng and drives the rapid development of Qin technology, culture, and economy. His wisdom shines like a brilliant star, illuminating every corner of the Qin dynasty.
In Qin, he establishes an unprecedented academic system and trains a host of outstanding students. Some become generals, others civil officials, and still others vital forces driving history forward. Lin Mo changes not only the fate of Qin, but the course of history for the entire Chinese nation.
As time goes by, however, Lin Mo realizes that his presence has stirred the currents of time and space, and history is beginning to shift in subtle ways. He must find a balance between preserving history as it was and advancing civilization, all while facing challenges from other transmigrators and historical figures.
In the Ming dynasty, Lin Mo wakes once more to find that his disciple has become a great ruler. Taking on an entirely new identity, he continues his work as a teacher, helping the emperor usher in an even more glorious dynasty. But history rolls relentlessly onward.
