When he woke up, the social animal Wang Li and his friend both fell into the troubled times of the north and the south. However, because of his arrogant friend, he offended the powerful, and blood was everywhere in an instant! Wang Li, who witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and fully understood this era where human life is regarded as nothing.
With no way to survive, he had to pick up a wooden identity card engraved with "Langya King's Calendar" and was forced to pretend to be a distant descendant of the highest sect in the Southern Dynasty. There are undercurrents surging in Jiankang City, and countless pairs of eyes are watching his every move: royal suspicion, temptations from powerful officials, doubts from relatives, and even spies from the Northern Dynasties are taking notice... One wrong step, and you will be doomed!
There are no golden fingers, only insights and wisdom beyond the times. He copied poems to become famous, offered suggestions to break the situation, and was startled at every step in the whirlpool of power. He dealt with Emperor Wu of Liang, the treacherous minister Zhu Yi, and the wealthy families. From the war in Xiangyang to the turmoil in Jiankang, he trained troops and farmed the fields, made gains and eliminated disadvantages, and actually turned this fake identity into a stronghold that could turn the tide of the country!
Let's take a look at how a modern little man used the best "skin" in this worst era to stir up the world, reverse the fate of the country, fight against the barbarians in the north, conquer the country in the south, and even create a troubled love affair with the noble daughter of the clan.
He is a son of a real and fake family, but he has the heart of a lonely minister in troubled times. How can he get to the top with this borrowed life?
