This is the legendary story of how a down-and-out scholar traveled from a rural village in the late Qing Dynasty to the whole country through a mysterious ancient book.
Li Wenyuan, an honest and poor scholar, studied hard every day in order to pay off his family's huge debt. Unexpectedly, an accident while renovating his ancestral home made him discover a priceless treasure from the previous dynasty - an ancient book "The Art of Destiny" that predicts the future.
From then on, he relied on the wisdom and knowledge in ancient books to counterattack step by step: from the village medical god to the top scholar in the imperial examination, from the framed scapegoat to the man of the hour who stirred up the national destiny. He also exposed the conspiracy of corrupt officials and powerful people, worked hard to save the country from crisis, and led the people to prosperity.
However, the secrets hidden behind the ancient books are far beyond his imagination - when the gears of destiny slowly turn, will he become a pawn that drives the country to strength, or will he be the master of his own destiny?
When all the answers are revealed, the fate of this down-and-out scholar has already been written by the magnificent future...
