Programmer Zhou Ming woke up and found that he had traveled to a strange ancient dynasty. Before he could figure out the situation, he was being hunted as an accomplice of an assassin. At the critical moment of life and death, he blurted out: "I am the legitimate son of the Langya Wang family!"
This life-saving lie brought him to the pinnacle of life... And the edge of a knife.
He didn't expect that the "Langya Wang Clan" he made up casually actually had its own clan, but it was just that twenty years ago, the whole family was executed for treason. What's more, he didn't expect that the current prime minister was the official who handled the case, and he was currently looking at him as a "fish that slipped through the net" with probing eyes.
In order to survive, Zhou Ming had to turn into a performer: recite non-existent genealogy, forge a lost family jade pendant, and even improvise "ancestral admonitions". Relying on the knowledge reserve and quick wit of modern people, he managed to get through time and time again, and was actually accepted by the powerful as the "Orphan of the Wang Family".
But when he was elected as the examiner of the imperial examination, when the refugees regarded him as a life-saving straw, when the girl with eyes like a deer said, "The prince will definitely be able to revive the family"... Zhou Ming suddenly realized that he might not be able to stop this scene anymore.
Because he had been pretending for so long, even he almost believed that he was the "Wang Ming" who should shine.
