In the third year of the Jiayou era, Chen Kuo, a physics student, transmigrates to Xinghua Village in the Northern Song Dynasty after a laboratory accident, becoming a penniless scholar with no one to rely on. Faced with shortages of food and water, he draws on his scientific knowledge to improve devices and solve everyday problems. Starting with small inventions in the village, he gradually makes a name for himself and seeks opportunities amid the tides of the era, using science to stir up the Song Empire.
