Chen Yi, a modern financial elite, suddenly died in the workplace, and his soul passed through Lan Xiaren, the youngest son of Lan Yu, Duke of Liang of the Ming Dynasty. The beginning is the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, only one year left before the incident of Lan Yu. He was originally the number one dandy in Jinling City, bullying men, dominating women, and doing all kinds of evil. When Chen Yi took over this body that everyone wanted to beat, his first task was not to clear his name, but to prevent his father Lan Yu from being chopped into pieces by Zhu Yuanzhang.
He is bound to the [National Destiny Merit System]. Only by performing meritorious deeds for the country can he earn points, which can be exchanged for modern knowledge, materials and life-saving cards. But the system has a fatal setting: once Lan Yu is convicted, the host will be wiped out simultaneously.
As a result, the dandy who was reviled all over the city began to change. He fought against the nobles of Huaixi, investigated major corruption cases, quelled the rebellion in the southwest, and practiced new firearms... He gradually became the pillar of the Ming Dynasty from a "dead man".
And the murderous intention is never far away - the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Jiang Yu, secretly probes his every word, the eyes of Yan King Zhu Di become more and more meaningful, and the prince Zhu Biao who is driven crazy seems to know something. What's even weirder is that he discovered that his rebirth might not be an accident.
