Li Mo, a doctor of modern mechanical engineering, traveled back to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty in a laboratory accident and became a poor scholar. With his modern knowledge and mechanical skills, he is determined to change this era. At the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, he met Liu Ruyan, a smart female weaver, and together they improved textile technology and promoted handicraft innovation. Later, they met Zhang Yuanshan, a reclusive master craftsman, and the three joined forces to initiate changes in technology, military, agriculture and other fields. However, their innovation touched the interests of conservative forces, and a battle between technology and tradition began. In this process, Li Mo not only had to deal with the overt and secret struggles in the court, but also resolved various misunderstandings and jokes caused by the collision of modern thinking and ancient customs.
