In 947 AD, programmer Li Jun traveled through time and became the son of a criminal official in Yazhou, Southern Han Dynasty. He was beheaded three days later. After being bound to the "Tyrant Training System", he must survive in troubled times - the system wants him to be a tyrant, but he has taken another path.
Starting from getting acquainted with Huang Yin, the leader of Lidong Shaodong, and Chen Mian, a former Jinshi scholar in the death row, Li Jun gradually found hope in desperate situations. Escape from prison, seize account books, fight eunuchs, recruit Li soldiers, build salt fields, and open sea trade... He spent nine years from being a prisoner to the governor of Lingnan Road, turning the remote and remote Yazhou into a paradise in troubled times.
When the Southern Tang invaded twice, he led his troops to repel them, forcing the Southern Tang to sue for peace and cede territory. After the Song Dynasty was established, he formed an alliance with Zhao Kuangyin to find a balance among the three parties. When Liu Yuan passed away, he passed on what he had learned throughout his life to the new king Xing'er, completing the spiritual inheritance of three generations of masters and apprentices.
Fifty years later, Lingnan was in peace and prosperity, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Li Jun turned into the brightest star in the sky, guarding this land forever.
