In the twelfth year of Chenghua, the Ming Dynasty was calm on the surface, but in fact there was an undercurrent. In the court, Wang Zhichu took charge of the West Factory, and Wan Guifei favored the harem; in the countryside, land annexation intensified, making the people miserable. The modern soul was accidentally born into a declining scholar's family in the south of the Yangtze River and became a seven-year-old boy named Lu Zheng. Facing his seriously ill father, hard-working mother, and greedy clan members who are pressing every step of the way, Lu Zheng knows that the only way to survive and live with dignity in this era is to take the imperial examination and become an official. From a boy in the countryside to the center of the Ming Dynasty, he worked step by step, fighting for power, pacifying border troubles, removing maritime restrictions, and opening up maritime trade. Although the position of Prime Minister had been abolished in the early Ming Dynasty, he entered the cabinet and became a veritable "Prime Minister of Common People" in the Ming Dynasty. He held the power of the world and continued to write a legend for the Ming Dynasty.
