Shen Zhiyuan, a graduate student in the Department of History, was unexpectedly reborn as Shen Jinghong, the son of a border general in Ji Town in the late Ming Dynasty. Without the blessing of a golden finger, he only relied on the vague historical context and modern knowledge in his mind to move from a borderland boy to the center of power step by step.
He improved ordnance, changed the decline of the Ming army before the Battle of Saarhu, and aborted the rise of the Hou Jin Dynasty; he implemented the New Deal, revitalized the Ming Dynasty's economy with military villages and trade routes, and injected a boost into the dying dynasty; he also met his lifelong confidant Su Qingqing, and with respect and pampering that transcended the times, he protected her from a young lady in the south of the Yangtze River to a pioneer in opening a school, and performed a legend of "husband and wife rule together, each with its own boundaries".
From a junior college in the border army to assisting the cabinet, he refused to be crowned king and stayed away from the regency. He only used his system and foresight to continue the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty for 386 years. When the wave of emerging ideas swept across and the Chinese Federation was born in peace and became the leader of global civilization, Shen Jinghong's consciousness quietly returned to modern times.
The Ming-style architecture and modern neon lights on the streets complement each other, and the lofty reputation of the "Federation of China" in the news shocks the world, but no one knows that this ordinary graduate student who squeezed the subway and rushed for his thesis was the anonymous creator of that magnificent history. He has changed the destiny of China, but he is still one of all living beings. Only the faded abacus hairpin in his palm has witnessed the deep love and responsibility that spans time and space.
