Luo Chen, a modern IT algorithm engineer, transmigrates into a destitute courier in the first year of the Xuande era of the Ming dynasty.
A new emperor has taken the throne, the Prince of Han is plotting a rebellion, intelligence is a tangled mess, secret letters remain uncracked, and undercurrents stir throughout the realm.
While others rely on political maneuvering, strength, and connections to get ahead,
he uses nothing but priority sorting, word-frequency analysis, data modeling, and logical algorithms to outclass everyone by an order of magnitude.
He clears three months' worth of backlogged documents, cracks the Prince of Han's top-secret messages,
joins the Embroidered Uniform Guard, takes charge of vital intelligence, and faces deadly gambits alongside Chen Nan, a cool and alluring female spy.
No System, no fantasy,
with mathematics as his blade and logic as his shield,
he rises step by step from a humble courier to the Ming dynasty's algorithm master, trusted by the emperor and shaking the entire court.
He calculates the secrets in coded messages, the schemes in people's hearts, and the fate of a vast empire.
