Lin Zhao, a history student, transmigrates into the Great Liang dynasty and becomes a poor scholar from a humble family. His house is bare, his contract of servitude is in hand, and the Yan faction is hunting him down, with arrows already flying! At his most desperate moment, his golden finger awakens: his historical knowledge from a previous life and modern way of thinking help him turn the tables step by step. He uncovers a grain warehouse case and earns a chance to take the imperial examinations, outmaneuvers the Yan faction, assists a prince, and makes a name for himself on the frontier. In the end, he rises to the position of chancellor, roots out corruption, and takes command of power! Yet a secret map from the previous dynasty conceals a mystery about his origins, while enemy plots, scheming hands in the inner palace, and a rebellion by a vassal prince close in around him... How will this scholar from a humble family carve a bloody path through with his wits and reach the summit of power? Witness a battle of schemes, where every step is fraught with danger!
