History prodigy Lin An transmigrates into the Great Zhou dynasty as a poor scholar who failed the imperial exam. From the start, he's penniless and buried in loan-shark debt. His silver tongue buys him a brief reprieve from his creditors, but deep in the mountains, he unexpectedly saves the reigning empress, Ji Wushuang, who is traveling under the alias Miss Huang. He uses modern first aid to treat her wounds and makes money by turning saltpeter into ice. His unusual words and ways win the empress's heart. Before they part, she leaves him a gold-and-jade dragon pendant. Lin An mistakes it for a token of love, never realizing it's the ultimate golden finger for his talent at living off a woman while still coming out on top.
With his photographic memory and modern knowledge, Lin An rises from county-exam champion to passing all three imperial examinations at the top, stunning the entire court. He opens shops selling perfume and glass to amass a fortune, joins the Ministry of Works to root out corruption, and builds cannons to strengthen the army and enrich the country. When Fusang provokes them, he face-slaps them with poetry and establishes his might with firearms. In the end, he takes command of the army, conquers Japan, and captures the emperor.
From a penniless scholar in a ruined temple to the Prince of the Eastern Sea, a man second only to the emperor, Lin An uses the empress's golden aura of support while relying on his own ability to cherish and protect her, reform the court, and usher in an age of prosperity. A scheming transmigrated scholar and a cool, commanding empress find their way to each other. Enjoy the thrill of an underdog's rise through the imperial exams, the novelty of inventions, and the fervor of defending the nation. Watch him power his way through life and live out the proudest life of a man who knows how to thrive on a woman's support!
