In the turbulent era of the late Ming Dynasty, Li Xi, a modern high school history teacher, accidentally traveled through time. Facing the imminent collapse of the Ming Dynasty, he determined to use the knowledge he had learned to rewrite history. Allied with local power leader Zhou Jing, they established a joint defense alliance in an attempt to use guerrilla tactics to resist internal and external troubles and preserve the Ming Dynasty.
However, the corruption and suspicion of the imperial court, as well as the secret competition between various forces, made the situation more complicated. While Li Xi won on the battlefield, he was also trapped in the vortex of power. Faced with the pressing court and the siege of internal and external enemies, he embarked on a path of survival in the gap between history and reality.
