Su Heng, the spoiled heir of the Su family in Jinan, was framed by his uncle and wife on his wedding day. He drowned in the river and died. Then Su Heng, a modern man who had transmigrated from another world and shared his name, took over his body. With nothing to his name and his uncle trying to harm him, Su Heng headed south to Hangzhou. Using modern knowledge, he grew wealthy and became a renowned local magnate. As the state of Yan fell into political turmoil and its people suffered, with corpses of the starving strewn everywhere, Su Heng decisively raised an army, destroyed Yan, and crowned himself emperor.
