When the soul of modern programmer Lin Mo traveled back to the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, starting from a dying scholar in a ruined temple on the outskirts of Bianjing, a counterattack with modern wisdom to attack thousands of years of history began. He used the sedimentation method to avoid problems and the tabular method to manage accounts, and he stayed with the smart girl Su Wan to keep warm in his difficulties; when he studied hard for the imperial examination, he integrated modern management ideas into policy theory, and emerged in the imperial examination room.
From breaking through the workplace of the Secretary's Office, to building weirs, pushing food coupons, and introducing sweet potatoes to set up schools during the Yuezhou administration, to discussing politics with Wang Anshi in the central court, and helping Di Qing defeat Xixia in the northwest frontier, Lin Mo has always been "seeking progress" with the heart of "keeping integrity". He and Su Wan accompany him all the way, protecting the peace of his family and home in the whirlpool of officialdom and factions, seeking the welfare of the people in the face of people's livelihood hardships, and witnessing his eldest son passing the imperial examination, his second son guarding the border, and his daughter getting married, making bright sparks come from the collision between modern ideas and traditional governance.
This is not only an epic of modern people's survival in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also a love song about family and country hidden among the sounds of books in Bianliang and the smoke of cooking stoves in Yuezhou - when the wisdom of a thousand years later meets the mountains and rivers of a thousand years, see how Lin Mo fulfilled his original intention throughout his life and wrote the legend of the "dust guest" in the scrolls of the Northern Song Dynasty.
