Chu He, a frustrated graduate student in the history department, was selected by a high-dimensional system called "Guixu" to become a "civilization restorer" when the real world faced the crisis of the collapse of "historical anchors" and amnesia of civilization.
His mission is to travel through the key nodes of the ups and downs of Chinese civilization and enter real "copies" of history. From the bloody dawn of the Xuanwumen Incident, to the secret war for wealth under the prosperity of Bianjing, to the philosophical inquiry in the desperate situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty... He is not an omniscient and omnipotent God, but a chess player with limited resources in his hands and walking on the edge of a knife. What he relies on is not modern weapons, but a deep understanding of the historical context, an accurate grasp of people's hearts, and the wisdom of using modern knowledge to carry out "dimensionality reduction strikes."
The system gave him a task and also gave him strict rules: every intervention will produce a "historical deviation value". If the deviation is too low, the mission will fail, and if the deviation is too high, it may trigger a chain collapse, or even lead to ruthless obliteration by the "historical correction force".
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he dealt with Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, just to reduce the shock of power change and preserve the civilized fire of Zhenguan rule.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, he hid in the bustling market in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", trying to create a solid maritime retreat for the poor and weak dynasty.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, what he faced was no longer a technical rescue, but the ultimate torture of a civilization: Which way of death is the most valuable for a dynasty?
Chuhe gradually discovered that these copies were not isolated stories. A secret clue runs through ancient and modern times, and the truth of the system is closely linked to his fate in the real world.
