Modern youth Lin Xu traveled to the juncture of the troubled times between the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty, and threw himself into a low-income family with no background, both parents were dead, and even the neighbors were indifferent to him. There is no "golden finger system", no mysterious nobleman, and no reliance on knowing history in advance. He relies on modern knowledge, tenacity, and long-term planning to rise from the bottom to the scholar, the public, and then to the top of the official career. In the early stage, due to the conflict between the old and new parties, he was caught in the middle and was forced to perform "mediocre" to avoid becoming a political victim.
As the situation worsened in the middle and later stages, he had to gradually reveal his talents and grow into an almighty emperor through life and death and determination. He eventually ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Focusing on reforming the military system, reshaping the economy, technological innovation, and defeating internal cronies, he gradually unified the known worlds such as Asia, Europe, and America, and realized a truly unified global empire.
