In the 24th year of Yuan Zhizheng, a stranger with a strange destiny came to the troubled times. He is over 40 years old, but his appearance is like a crown jewel; he has no power to tie a chicken, but he can bring the dead back to life. In the smoke of war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he used high-yielding grain seeds to turn deserted villages into granaries, used castration to turn pork into delicacies, and even used his unpredictable medical skills to snatch back from the hands of Yama the people who were linked to the fate of the Ming Dynasty.
He is the "demon" that Zhu Yuanzhang loves and hates - he dares to confront Emperor Hongwu in court, but in private he calls Empress Ma his younger brother and Prince Zhu Biaoyin his confidant. He revived Chang Yuchun who should have died violently, rewrote the tragedy of Hongdu war god Zhu Wenzheng, and in the bloody dusk of the Hongwu Dynasty, he pulled the souls of heroes who were destined to die young back from the gate of hell, and weaved a protective web that spans life and death.
When the world marvels at the famous ministers and generals who "should have died" each and every one of them lived to the age of 8, when the poisonous schemes of the Jiangnan civil servants, the blades of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the hidden arrows of the White Lotus Sect are all coming, this figure who is always twenty-five years old is quietly setting up another big game in the shadow of the empire.
