Xiao Zhuo, the king of Zhenbei who was imprisoned by the imperial edict, was reborn five years ago and rescued Xie Linqiu, a poor student from a poor family who was about to be sent to the sinking pond while investigating a case in the south of the Yangtze River. He wanted to be hired as a staff member, but he found that this seemingly weak scholar could predict all his decisions.
Xie Linqiu was reborn with the memories of his previous life, pretending to be an ordinary person in order to solve the genocide, but he frequently lost control around Xiao Zhuo and showed off his talents. The two went from exploratory games to working together to reform, and in the process of implementing the New Deal, they uncovered the truth about the annihilation of the Wu clan twenty years ago.
When war broke out again in the north, Xiao Zhuo discovered that Xie Linqiu could predict the battlefield trends. In the mountain temple on a rainy night, as he touched the map with his bloody fingers, Xie Linqiu finally revealed the shocking secret: "Your Highness, we are not meeting for the first time, but we are meeting again."
