Lin Zhao stayed up late to finish writing "On the Impact of Zhu Biao's Death on the National Destiny of the Ming Dynasty". When he opened his eyes, he traveled to the 25th year of Hongwu - the spring when Prince Zhu Biao became seriously ill.
He risked his life to stop the driver and save others, and bound to the "Chinese Renaissance System". From then on, this young man from modern times stepped into the bloodiest chess game in the Ming Dynasty.
He rescued Zhu Biao and won the trust of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
But he didn't know that a conspiracy against the royal family had already been laid.
The king of Jin was assassinated, the prince was poisoned, and the emperor's grandson committed suicide - three lives in one month. The man behind the scenes points to King Qin, but the truth is far more complicated than imagined. That "Second Master" who has been lurking for thirty years, those jade pendants engraved with dragon patterns, that letter that was never delivered...
When Lin Zhao finally revealed the truth, he discovered that the real murderer was standing at the top.
Brothers kill each other, father and son are suspicious of each other, the emperor's intentions, the joys and sorrows of the world - he has witnessed too many lives and deaths, and has lost too many friends.
But the road still goes on.
The new emperor ascended the throne and set his sights overseas. The first batch of students from the Royal Institute of Technology are enrolled, and the Age of Discovery has arrived ahead of schedule.
Lin Zhao stood on the construction site, looking at the dirty but bright-eyed orphans, and at the figure standing in the shade of a tree in the distance with his hands behind his back.
Some are dead, some are alive, some are gone, and some are still there.
History has completely changed.
What he wants to do is to take the last wishes of those people and use the wisdom of five thousand years to awaken the sleeping dragon soul of this ancient empire.
All that the sun and moon illuminate are Han lands.
This time, he wants to let Ming Dynasty go to the whole world
