Lin Mo, a history student at Jiangcheng University, spent five years digging into Ganlu historical materials in order to write his graduation thesis on the collapse of imperial power in the late Cao Wei Dynasty. However, due to an accidental electric shock, he traveled through time and became the puppet emperor Cao Mao, who was about to be killed by Sima Zhao's cronies the next day. Faced with a desperate situation, there is a historical dead line approaching every step of the way. The powerful minister Sima Zhaoquan in the back is in charge of the government and the public, and his party members are everywhere. The guards in the palace are old and weak, and there are only a few close followers. Everything is a dead end.
With a thousand-year historical perspective and modern wisdom, Lin Mo fully understands the tragedy of Cao Mao flying like a moth to a flame to pursue thieves, and he also understands the fate of Cao Wei's clan to be destroyed. He suppressed his fear and determined to change his fate: first, he pretended to be cowardly to stabilize Sima Zhao, and used the traitor to deliver false news to gain a breathing space; then he was discerning, and he enlisted the loyal Wang Jing as his confidant to build a solid foundation; then he secretly planned, using the sharp weapon of the era, the horse stirrup, as a breakthrough point, to train elite dead warriors and cavalry, and accumulate the power to make a comeback.
From the shocking awakening in the Ganlu Palace, to the secret dealings with Sima Zhao's forces, from the thrilling trials of identifying loyalists and traitors, to the step-by-step efforts to build a strong army, the former puppet emperor will eventually overthrow the Sima family's overwhelming power, revive the power of the Wei Dynasty, and carve out his own destiny in the chaotic chess game at the end of the Three Kingdoms.
