Wang Rui, a soul from the future, accidentally became the nephew of Wang Gui, the famous prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty.
The rule of Zhenguan was prosperous on the surface but turbulent undercurrents. He is well aware of the direction of history, and holds the scientific key that spans thousands of years.
He didn't want to be prime minister, he just wanted to build a "Gezhiyuan" to let the light of knowledge illuminate ignorance.
However, the improvement of papermaking touched the interests of salt and iron, the development of gunpowder attracted the covetousness of the military, and the popularization of printing made Confucianism angry!
He dealt with Taizong, Changsun Wuji, and Wu Zetian, using chemistry as a chess piece and physics as a game. He walked on thin ice in the shocking whirlpools such as "Destroy the King and Establish Wu" and "Gaozong's Fengji".
When "Gezhi" learning becomes a lever to leverage the empire, is he a trend-setter of the times, or is he a victim of the backlash of power?
An epic about knowledge, power and civilization. See how a modern soul used science to make a shocking move on the chessboard of the early Tang Dynasty!
