CEO Jing Xiao, a lifelong bachelor, wakes up one night as a down-on-his-luck scholar in the Southern Song.
From the start, he's dumped by his fiancée, penniless, and saddled with a younger sister who's a powerhouse and a former screen queen.
He wants nothing more than to lie flat, but his talents won't let him. He turns selling pheasants into a Song-dynasty blind-box craze, and his portrait of Xin Qiji prompts the poet to ask him on the spot to become sworn brothers.
The county office hires him as a clerk, and the publishing house begs him to draw comics.
Everyone praises him as a star of literature descended from Heaven, but Jing Xiao can only sigh at the sky:
"I really just want to lie flat. This era is the one forcing me to be an attention seeker!"
Watch as he uses his modern mindset to forge a new path for himself in the Song dynasty's workplace, marketplace, and corridors of power.
