From a county magistrate to an important minister in the court, from a corner of the Wangjiang River to the whole country of Great Yong, Gu Yan worked step by step, using soft power to leverage hard changes, so that the technology, education, and military of the Great Yong Dynasty took off in an all-round way! When the Silk Road reopens, Princess Elsa from the Western Regions comes with exotic customs; when the industrial revolution is ignited, steam engines roar to change the world; when Dayong culture spreads far and wide, Gu Yan's thoughts will eventually cross national boundaries and become a "thinking master" with global influence, and even the "Father of Civilization" that promotes the entire human civilization!
On this road of cultural rejuvenation, Lin Wan'er, a smart and tenacious peasant girl, pioneered new knowledge alongside him, the noble and agile Princess Anle helped him mediate the court and overcome obstacles, and the passionate and unrestrained exotic princess Aisha worked with him to build a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures. They are not canaries in the palace, but indispensable revolutionary partners and soul confidants on his ideal journey, and together they perform an emotional bond that transcends the times!
