He is no longer an overworked wage slave fretting over KPIs. Now he is the lowliest household servant, barely able to afford three meals a day and liable to be sold off at any moment.
He has no System to rely on and no connections to lean on. All he has is a mind filled with knowledge ahead of its time and the survival instincts he honed struggling at the bottom.
From sweeping courtyards and serving tea to cautiously making a name for himself, he uses modern thinking to solve thorny problems and his forward-looking vision to break through dead ends. Step by step, he escapes his status as a slave, enters government service, and joins the emperor’s side.
The court is full of treacherous intrigues, and the martial world seethes with hidden currents. Though he began as a nobody, he makes his moves in the game of power and steers his course through the tides of the age.
This is the story of a modern man who rises from the dust in an unfamiliar feudal dynasty and ultimately reaches the pinnacle of power.
