Chen Mo, a top student in the Department of Modern History and a military enthusiast, accidentally traveled back to the 14th year of the Ming Dynasty (1449) and possessed the body of a low-level civil servant of the same name who was about to go on a personal expedition with Emperor Yingzong. He was familiar with the tragic ending of the "Tumubao Incident", but found himself in the middle of a death march, unable to prevent the army from entering the desperate situation set by Wala Ye first. After surviving on the battlefield of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Chen Mo was burdened with huge historical guilt and foresight. He was determined to use modern knowledge and historical details to struggle to survive in this turbulent time and space, and tried to gather the remaining power to save the fate of the Ming Dynasty and avoid the fall of the capital and the overthrow of the country. This is a lonely redemption that races against time and fights against the inertia of history. Not only does he have to face powerful enemies and a cruel environment, but he also has to make choices in intricate court struggles and tests of human nature.
