Chen Yuan traveled to the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty and just wanted to save his life. A kind thought allowed him to save the refugee siblings; a quick wit attracted the attention of the warlord. From being forced to join the army to establishing a foundation, he relied on modern thinking to repeatedly overcome difficulties, but he also made difficult choices between power and morality. This is not the history of conquest by "Long Aotian", but the story of an ordinary person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. In order to protect the people he cherished and the creed in his heart, he was forced to move forward step by step, and was eventually pushed to the top by the tide of the times and became the founding emperor of a generation.
