Lin Fu, a professor in the Department of Modern History, suffered an accident during the restoration of ancient books, and his soul traveled through the seven years of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty - only one year before the humiliation of Jingkang. He became a down-and-out scholar in the suburbs of Bianliang, Tokyo. His family was destitute and he was burdened with huge gambling debts left by his father. Having delved deeply into the history of the Song Dynasty in his previous life, he knew full well how tragically this catastrophe would bring about the tragic fragmentation of his family and country: the two emperors hunted in the north, the people were displaced, and the Central Plains collapsed.
With the historical memory of a thousand years later and a strategic vision far beyond the times, Lin Fu was determined to change his fate against the odds. He first revitalized his family business and accumulated the first pot of gold with his advanced business ideas; then he entered the court by predicting the gold list of the imperial examination questions; he secretly contacted Zhongliang and exposed the treasonous conspiracy of Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other traitors; on the training ground, he introduced modern military theory to create an invincible "Jingbian Army"; on the border, he made arrangements in advance to thwart the Jin Kingdom's ambition to move south.
From the turmoil in Bianliang to the recuperation in Jiangnan, from the intrigues in the court to the iron-blooded fighting on the battlefield, Lin Fu was at every step. Not only did he want to save the Song Dynasty, which was on the verge of destruction, but he also wanted to break the long-standing disadvantage of "emphasis on culture over military affairs" and reshape China's iron-blooded character. On the way, he met a general's daughter who dared to love and hate, an extremely intelligent poetess, and a loyal knight-errant. He also encountered many obstacles from treacherous ministers, enemy countries, and even internal conservative forces.
