In 2050, esports champion Lin Yuanzhou lost the gold medal after being betrayed by his teammates and went into seclusion in an ancient town. But he accidentally stepped into a rift in time and space, arriving on the battlefield at Tumu Fortress in 1449, just after 200,000 Ming soldiers had been wiped out.
He discovered that soldiers of this era were astonishingly strong, but had no idea how to fight in formation. A wild idea took shape: use modern soccer tactics to train an ancient army! The 4-3-3 formation became a cavalry charge, the offside trap turned into a ploy to lure the enemy in, and corner kicks became a powerful siege tactic.
Three years later, a mysterious army calling itself “Cuju” swept across the grasslands, leaving Oirat cavalry questioning their very existence. Meanwhile, beautiful historian Shen Zhaoning tracked him down and uncovered the truth: this transmigration was a “historical intervention experiment” from 2065. And an even deadlier adversary was on his trail: the old enemy who had framed him had also followed the rift through time and space.
