Shen Yanzhi, a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River, first entered Beijing in his previous life. He fell in love with the eldest princess Zhao Lingxi at a glance, and his obsession has been deeply rooted in her ever since. He originally had a talent for discovering beautiful women, but he lost his reputation due to being distracted during the examination. He put aside his dignity and became a princess, and just wanted to be with her every day. Little did they know that Zhao Lingxi had grown up her appearance just to get revenge on her childhood sweetheart, the general. The general's happiness of marrying a brothel girl was an eternal thorn in her heart, and she had a vicious heart hidden under her beautiful skin.
Once, due to poor service, Shen Yanzhi was dragged into the woodshed and froze to death in the cold winter. On his deathbed, he regretted his mistake: If there was an afterlife, he would never have anything to do with the eldest princess again.
When he opened his eyes, he was reborn on Zhuque Street where he first met Zhao Lingxi. This time, Shen Yanzhi suppressed all his obsessions, turned around to avoid Luan Jia, and focused on the imperial examination. He was able to win the top prize based on his talent and learning. He refused Zhao Lingxi's deliberate attempts to win over him and took the initiative to send him abroad to avoid trouble.
In remote counties and counties, he built embankments, promoted agriculture and mulberry trees, and managed people's livelihood, and made outstanding achievements. He met the medical girl Su Wan by chance, and the two walked side by side and supported each other. The paranoid Zhao Lingxi saw that he was avoiding himself like a snake and a scorpion, and was rising step by step. His possessiveness and revenge were intertwined. He secretly made trouble many times and even colluded with the rebel party to eradicate him.
Shen Yanzhi had been prepared for it long ago, and used his past life memories and current life plans to stabilize his official career while collecting evidence, and finally joined forces with the general to expose Zhao Lingxi's conspiracy and evil deeds. From then on, he completely got rid of the shadow of his previous life, rose from an official position to a governor, stayed with Su Wan all his life, and lived a life that was far more brilliant than his previous life.
