In the fictional Great Xia Dynasty, the powerful minister Sima Yi (pseudonym) covets the throne, and the Northern Barbarian cavalry is eyeing the throne outside. The treasury is empty and the people are in dire straits. Lin Chen, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled through time and became the last emperor who was about to be deposed. Faced with the crisis of national subjugation, he relied on his deep understanding of historical laws and modern political skills to outwit powerful officials in the court and strategize on the battlefield. He gradually grew from a puppet emperor to a real ruler of the empire. When everyone thought that Daxia would die, he used his wisdom and determination to inject new life into this dying dynasty!
