In the last years of the Great Entropy Dynasty, the court was corrupt and people died of hunger everywhere.
The 23-year-old border county magistrate Lu Chengyuan was silenced by his superiors for investigating a military grain corruption case. On the way to escape, he rescued the mysterious girl Su Jin, and the two of them rushed to the northern border county with evidence that could overthrow the prime minister.
At this time the world will be in chaos:
In the south, Yue Ce, the son of a maritime merchant, used commercial warfare to annex Jiangdong;
In Western Shu, Wei Xuan, a genius from a poor family, assisted the great Confucian grandson Xiao Yan, and wanted to rule the world with etiquette and law;
And Lu Chengyuan, this poor boy with nothing, only had a blood-stained account book, an unwilling heart, and the ghosts of three thousand frontier soldiers who starved to death behind him.
From the border commander to the founder of the country, from being alone to returning to the world.
This is not a story about machinations, but an answer to "how to let ordinary people live well".
