(Core conflict construction: villain agent + destiny chip + dilemma + deadly secret + countdown threat)
Lu Jiang was an idealistic young civil servant during the Zhenghe period of the Song Dynasty. In his previous life, he was framed by the capitulationists and conservative forces led by Prime Minister Wang Fu and Quan Huan Liang Shicheng because he advocated resistance to the Jin Dynasty and supported the reform. He was slandered as a traitor who "troubled the imperial court". He witnessed with his own eyes the demotion of his mentor, the tragic death of his best friend, and the overturning of all the achievements of the reform. Finally, in the first year of Jingkang, on the eve of the Jin army's iron hooves conquering Bianjing, he was given a glass of poisoned wine to die in the sky prison. He was burdened with endless humiliation and overwhelming hatred for the destruction of his country and his family.
With the complete memory of his previous life, Lu Jiang woke up at the moment when he had just passed the Jinshi examination and entered the court in high spirits for seven years in Zhenghe. Rebirth is his most powerful golden finger - he can predict the direction of the government and personnel changes in the next twenty years, and he knows every detail of the catastrophe of the Jingkang Disgrace. However, the chips of fate have already been suppressed: if he cannot reverse the long-standing shortcomings of the Song Dynasty and prevent the Jin people from invading southward within a few years, then the destruction of the country, the destruction of the family, and the devastation of life will happen again, and everything he cherishes will be wiped out. This constitutes the **core motivation** of his actions and the **fatal price** of failure.
