Li Tianyi, a village cadre in the 21st century, was swept away by a flood in the tenth year of Wanli.
He knew that this dynasty would end in less than seventy years. But he couldn't say it.
A time traveler with no fame or background was picked up as an official by the 19-year-old Emperor Wanli. He has no golden fingers, only the ability to work hard at the grassroots level. But he was not willing to be just a spectator of history - he wanted to shake up the dead bureaucracy in the court, change the millennium-old farming methods in the fields, plant the seeds of science in the schools, and forge a new backbone of national defense in the army. He knew that he was not a talented person, but he wanted to try because he knew that a single spark could start a prairie fire.
So, how much can a person who knows the outcome keep his true intentions and how many things can he change in the cannibalistic feudal officialdom?
