Li Qi, a graduate student in the Department of History in the 21st century, was accidentally electrocuted and traveled to the turbulent Zhou Dynasty. He became a ninth-grade Sihu who had just been demoted to the border of Yunzhou and joined the army. It was the seventh year of Xianchun, when treacherous ministers were in power, local tyrants were rampant, Beidi and Southern imperial edicts were eyeing them, and the people were displaced. When he was on the verge of death, Li Qi bound to the "merit and salvation system". With modern knowledge, extraordinary courage and system assistance, he embarked on a difficult road from a humble official to a famous minister of salvation.
From rescuing orphans and retreating from mountain bandits, to rectifying water transportation and building water conservancy, to punishing national thieves and resisting foreign aggression, every step Li Qi took was thrilling. He used the system's merit exchange skills to improve people's livelihood with modern concepts. He stuck to his true intentions in the turbulent court and launched a desperate struggle against the powerful Prime Minister Li Ke and his party members. This road is a counterattack of personal destiny, and it is also a road of redemption for an era from chaos to governance.
