Chen Yan, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to the fictional dynasty "Dasheng" and became a poor student. With nothing to gain, he only relies on the historical books and strategies in his memory, and he makes his way step by step in the court where the powerful and the powerful are competing with each other and the parties are constantly fighting. He started out as a policymaker, taking advantage of the situation, and gradually rose to the center of power from a commoner, but he was constantly struggling between power and conscience. Faced with pressure from foreign enemies and internal corruption, he tried to single-handedly reverse the decline of the dynasty, but ultimately discovered that the flow of history was far from reversible by one person.
