In the 15th year of Zhengde's Qing Dynasty in Jiangpu, the Emperor Zhu Houzhao was assassinated by a mysterious golden light. His soul was forcibly stripped from his body. When he opened his eyes again, he actually possessed Lin Yu, a poor modern deliveryman. In the past, he was a great figure with thousands of miles of land and rich food, but now he is trapped in a small rented house, struggling for rent. He wears rough work clothes and rides a "two-wheeled iron donkey" through the busy traffic. The majesty of the emperor is in perfect contrast with the embarrassment of working at the bottom.
The words of the site guard Lao Chen completely shattered his extravagant hopes of returning to the Ming Dynasty - official history has long recorded that he had drowned in Qingjiangpu, which was an irreversible fate. The mysterious caster who plotted against him practiced the evil "Dragon Qi Stealing Technique" and coveted his pure imperial dragon Qi. Not only did he trap his soul in modern times and gradually eat away at it, he also tried to use the dragon Qi to break the barriers of time and space, tamper with history, and dominate the world.
In a desperate situation, Zhu Houzhao suppressed the arrogance of the emperor and embarked on a modern path of survival that was both ridiculous and passionate. He clumsily adapts to new things such as mobile phones and workplace rules. He resists the pressure of rent and difficulties in the workplace. He also forms an alliance with Bai Ling, the arrogant civet cat with strange eyes, and the mysterious doorman Lao Chen. With his innate imperial spirit and superb skills, he searches for the eyes of the formation and resists powerful enemies in the dark. He vows to regain the stolen dragon energy and maintain the dignity of the emperor. In this bizarre modern society, he forcibly carves out a path of survival belonging to Emperor Zhengde.
