Lin Suhun, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, travels back in time to Cao Cao before the Battle of Wancheng in 1977. He carries a "historical figure empathy system" - he needs to gain female favorability through "understanding rather than possession" and unlock the fragments of real historical memory. The goal is to correct Cao Cao's "lustful and treacherous" label and establish a hegemony of "controlling the situation with emotion".
