The protagonist is reborn as a student from a poor family. With the help of modern knowledge reserves and foreknowledge of history, he becomes famous in the imperial examination and becomes the top scholar in high school.

He came into the emperor's sight and was promoted to a close minister. Going deep into the center of power, we found that the court was controlled by conservatives and powerful officials. He gained the emperor's deep trust through predictions of natural disasters, cleverly set up situations in party disputes, and guided the emperor step by step to identify and eradicate the largest group of treacherous officials. During this period, he encountered many assassinations and political frame-ups, and narrowly escaped death. After internal stability, the protagonist promotes military reforms. Formed a new army, used modern training and tactical ideas (such as the staff system, psychological warfare), and repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the war against Xixia and the recovery of Yanyun. At the same time, it balances the pressure of the peace faction in North Korea and China and consolidates the results on the front line. However, due to his great achievements, the protagonist is faced with the suspicion of the emperor's mind. He retreated quickly and voluntarily handed over part of his power, focusing on local reforms and cultivating a new generation of pragmatic officials. Finally, in the emperor's later years, the monarch and his ministers once again reconciled, presided over comprehensive institutional reforms, and laid the foundation for long-term peace and stability in the dynasty.
