Li Mo, a doctoral student in the Department of History, accidentally traveled through time and became Li Heng, Suzong of the Tang Dynasty who was in danger during the Anshi Rebellion.
What they took over was a country that was trampled to pieces by the Anshi rebels: Chang'an fell, Xuanzong fled, the eunuch Li Fuguo secretly colluded with the powerful concubine Zhang Liangdi, and the courtiers fought on their own. It is written in black and white in the history books that this "Great Emperor" will be a puppet who will die in depression two years later.
Li Mo was unwilling to be an abandoned son of history. On the one hand, he carefully maneuvered on the tightrope of imperial power and cut off internal troubles with the power and strategy that transcended the times; on the other hand, he used black powder, divine arm crossbows, bastions and other dimension-reducing strikes to sweep away the rebels. He knew that countering the rebellion was only the starting point, and what he wanted to do was to reshape a golden era that would surpass the prosperous Tang Dynasty of Han Dynasty.
When he finally cleaned up the universe and prepared to start the industrial revolution, he discovered a shocking conspiracy in the desert of the Western Regions - a "man behind the scenes" who had also traveled through time had already laid a dragnet. The real war has just begun.
