Modern history enthusiasts accidentally traveled through time and became Lin Chen, a twelve-year-old boy from Shilipo Village, Hejian Prefecture, North Zhili in the early years of the Zhengde Period of the Ming Dynasty. He did not start out alone, but was born into a complete and warm family. His grandparents, grandparents, and uncles were all around him. He lived a poor but harmonious and stable life.
After awakening to the Confucianism system of helping the world, he upheld his kind heart, was not arrogant, aggressive, and holy. He started as a young boy in the countryside, took care of both farming and studying, and embarked on the road to the imperial examination step by step.
By chance, he met Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor who left the palace incognito. The two hit it off and became life-long confidants who supported each other and treated each other candidly. He did not rely on clinging or shortcuts, but relied on his true talents and practical learning to rise from a boy student to a Jinshi, and from the countryside to the court.
