Lin Zhao, a history graduate, accidentally traveled to the late Qing Dynasty in 1861 and became the son-in-law of Emperor Xianfeng, the Mongolian consort Borzigit Xianhuang. Faced with the empire that was about to collapse, Princess Rongan who only had four years left to live, and the Xinyou coup that was about to break out, he relied on his foresight of history and modern knowledge to start from a policy and gradually intervene in the Westernization Movement, the Sino-Japanese War of 1888, and the Reform Movement of 1898. Over the past fifty years, he promoted railway construction, educational reform, and military modernization, and struggled to move forward in the political cracks between Cixi and Prince Gong. He revived a princess who should have died young, and also tried to revive a dying empire. This is a story about knowledge changing destiny and individuals influencing history - in the torrent of time, how far can a person go?
