A graduate student in the history department accidentally traveled back to the Yuanyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty and possessed the body of a demoted county magistrate. When he first arrived, he originally wanted to live a peaceful life, but because of his knowledge of modern history, he foresaw the various crises that the Northern Song Dynasty was about to face.
Faced with party strife in the court, foreign invasion at the border, and the decline of people's livelihood, Lin Yifeng started as a humble official. With his forward-looking vision and modern management wisdom, he gradually resolved the crisis and reformed the long-standing shortcomings. He promoted new farming in the south of the Yangtze River, innovated armaments at the border, and turned the tide in the court.
However, changing history is never easy. The obstruction of conservatives, the suspicion of reformists, the eager eyes of foreign enemies, and the chain reactions caused by his changing the trajectory of history all made him walk on thin ice. What confuses him even more is that there seem to be other time travelers secretly planning...
This is a story about ideals and reality, wisdom and courage, friendship and responsibility. When a person possesses knowledge that transcends the times, can he make this precarious dynasty shed less blood without changing the general direction of history? When he discovers that his every move affects the fate of millions of people in future generations, how should he make a choice?
