Autumn, the twenty-third year of Jiajing.
Under the Shengjin Pagoda, the Ganshui is cold.
Lin Yue, a graduate student in the history department in the 21st century, accidentally traveled to Nanchang Mansion during the Jiajing period and became a poor student named Lin Fu.
Faced with the difficulties of the imperial examination, the oppression of the powerful, and the corruption of the officialdom, he relied on modern knowledge and wisdom to set off a storm of innovation in the Ming Dynasty.
He started in Qiu Wei and embarked on the imperial examination step by step, eventually becoming a powerful minister.
He rectified official administration, built water conservancy projects, and promoted new learning, trying to save the precarious Ming Dynasty.
However, the road to innovation was full of thorns. He not only had to face the obstruction of conservative forces, but also faced threats from the harem, eunuchs and foreign enemies.
In this magnificent historical change, can he realize his ideals and restore the glory of the Ming Dynasty?
