Shen Yi, a graduate student in the history department, woke up from a dream and became a deserter waiting to be executed in Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty. When plague, famine and the iron hooves of the Qing army came at the same time, he relied on his understanding beyond the times to raise the first team among the dead. From a border official to a prince, from splitting the land and sealing borders to seeking to dominate the world, he wants to use modern thinking to reshape this crumbling ancient dynasty. When the civil and military officials of the court knelt down to worship the new emperor, and the people outside the palace walls cheered "the sun and the moon are shining again", he looked at the top of the Forbidden City - the price of changing history was to make himself a part of history.
