The story begins in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. One of the protagonists, a modern retired soldier, traveled through time and became a scholar, but was rescued by a kind little girl. Relying on his modern military knowledge, he devoted himself to quelling the rebellion during the Yellow Turban uprising and rose to prominence. However, conservative forces secretly prevented him from reforming the old system because they were afraid of the new ideas he brought. At the same time, if the war between all parties cannot be quelled in a short period of time, the people will suffer forever and the Eastern Han Dynasty will also be destroyed.
In the process of realizing his ambition, the protagonist is limited in the use of modern knowledge because he is in ancient times, and is forced to take a difficult position among various forces. He is torn between his childhood sweetheart, an ancient woman, and a like-minded modern time-traveling woman. He is also misunderstood by an old official of the Eastern Han Dynasty as someone who intends to rebel, and faces a crisis of trust.
In the process of resisting the nomads in the north and pacifying the countries in the western region, the person the protagonist trusted was bribed by the enemy, and the plan was blocked. But he continued to resolve crises with his perseverance. In the end, he successfully unified all forces, resisted foreign enemies, and allowed the Eastern Han Dynasty to prosper. He also made emotional choices and gained his own happiness.
