Lin Che, a modern social animal, traveled to the fictional Qingyuan Dynasty during a strange lightning strike and became a dying poor scholar in a ruined temple in the capital.
The beginning is a desperate situation: penniless, empty, and accidentally broke the "Secret Records of Water Transport Deficiency" that can overturn the court. He also holds a token engraved with a mysterious crow mark and is hunted by unknown forces.
At that time, the Qingyuan Dynasty was in a state of turmoil: the old emperor was seriously ill, the prince and his relative, the prime minister, were fighting openly and secretly, the barbarians in northern Xinjiang were eyeing him, and there was an undercurrent in the court.
Lin Che relied on the keen insight he had developed in modern shopping malls, starting with a secret record and a token, and made his way step by step in the murderous capital. He used the information gap to break the situation, took advantage of the situation to stir up troubles in the court, and dealt with various forces, but he always remained independent and not attached to any faction.
From a lonely soul surviving on the streets, to a strategist stirring up troubles, to a lonely minister with great power, Lin Che not only has to find a way out for himself in the turbulent game of power and maneuver, but also has to find his own way to rise in this troubled world. And the secret behind the crow token and the shocking conspiracy involved in "The Secret Record of Water Transport Deficiency" are pushing him step by step into the center of the storm...
This is a story about survival, game and counterattack. See how the visitors from another world used wisdom as the blade and courage as the armor to write a legend belonging to the "lone minister" in the power whirlpool of the Qingyuan Dynasty.
