Chen Chen is a lively, mischievous young man from the modern era. While playing a historical game, he is unexpectedly sucked into its world by a mysterious light and bound to a transmigration System, beginning a joyful journey between the past and present. In ancient times, cultural differences make it hard for him to fit in.
In the Tang dynasty, he encounters Li Bai and makes the poet immortal laugh with modern rhymes. He asks Li Bai for advice on writing poetry, but comes away with only a rough imitation. In the Song dynasty, he sets up a stall at a market, selling modern knickknacks provided by the System and attracting a crowd with magic tricks. He also befriends a merchant and discusses business. At a Qing dynasty palace selection, he is mistaken for a candidate and makes a series of bizarre moves to avoid being chosen, only for the emperor to keep him around as a “source of amusement.” As he completes more missions, the System upgrades, gaining features such as transforming him into famous people from history and summoning modern items. He creates even more laughs in each dynasty. However, if the secret of his transmigration System is exposed, it could throw the ancient world into chaos and lead people to study him. In the end, the System completes its mission and sends him back to the modern era. He writes about his experiences, becomes a bestselling author, and brings the joy of history to more people, while keeping his time-traveling adventures secret.
