Chen Xuan, a top student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally browsed through ancient books and traveled back in time to the third year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty, the critical period of Wang Anshi's political reform.
When Chen Xuan first entered Bianjing, he was filled with novelty and uneasiness when faced with this prosperous and dangerous world. Occasionally, because of his unique insights into the Qingmiao Method, he met Wang Anshi's son Wang Yu, and then stepped into the core of the reform. In the court, he relied on modern knowledge to skillfully resolve the thorny problems in the struggle between the old and new parties, but he also became a thorn in the side of the conservative forces.
Among the people, Chen Xuan went deep into the streets and saw people struggling between the pros and cons of the reform. He actively promoted reforms, improved people's livelihood, and established education, but he encountered obstacles at all levels.
