Liu Feng is a college student who graduated from the history department. He admires the Han Emperor Liu Che extremely and longs to have a life as magnificent as Liu Che's. After graduation, he honorably joined the army. While performing a mission on the border, Liu Feng unfortunately stepped on a landmine and was killed. However, his soul actually traveled to the body of Liu She, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
As soon as he traveled through time, Liu Feng faced a complicated palace struggle. At this time, Emperor Jing's queen, Bo, had no children, and the position of crown prince was undecided. Li Ji's son Liu Rong originally had the advantage, but Liu Feng knew the direction of history and his own abilities. He used his modern knowledge and understanding of history to begin the layout.
Liu Feng cleverly formed an alliance with Princess Guantao and agreed to marry her daughter Chen Ajiao. With his eloquence and wit, he showed in front of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty his insight and strategy far beyond those of his peers. In the court, he advocated strengthening the centralization of power and implemented a series of policy ideas that were conducive to national development, which was praised by many ministers.
As time went by, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty paid more and more attention to Liu Feng. Li Ji fell out of favor due to jealousy, and Liu Rong was deposed as crown prince. At the critical moment, Liu Feng relied on his previous accumulation and talents to be successfully established as the prince and changed his name to Liu Che.
After becoming the prince, Liu Che (Liu Feng) did not slack off. He actively studied the ways of governing the country and recruited talents from all walks of life. When Empress Dowager Dou was in control of the government, Liu Che was forbearing on the surface and secretly cultivating his own power. He met and established deep friendships with future famous generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, laying the foundation for future military operations.
