Shen Yan, a modern criminal investigation expert, was brutally exterminated and was reborn as a scholar from a poor family who lived in Chongzhen for ten years. Armed with the "Memory Palace" gold finger, he discovered that his death in his previous life was actually related to Pei Xuan, the chief minister of the dynasty.
In order to rewrite the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty and the fate of his loved ones, he took advantage of the imperial examination to enter the game. When the memory flashback reveals that her lover Su Qingying is the reincarnation of her sister in her previous life, and the poison mark on her mother's throat matches the evidence of the family extermination case in her previous life, a shocking conspiracy spanning two lives emerges. The memory palace is not a gift from God, but a prison for your future self. If you save one person, the dynasty will be overthrown. To break the deadlock, you need to burn everything and be reborn!
