During the Jiajing period, Ye Nian, a graduate student in the history department, accidentally traveled through time and became a down-and-out scholar in the Ming Dynasty. He talks a lot, but he has a "golden finger of historical correction" - he can read and correct errors in historical facts in real time, and predict the direction of history. With this ability, he verbally battled with the examiners in the imperial examination, outwitted Yan Song in the court, and repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. Just when he was on the rise, his first love Lin Waner, who had broken up because she thought he was "not doing his job properly", suddenly returned. Now she is the fiancée of the commander of the Jinyi Guards. She was ordered to investigate a major rebellion case, and all the evidence pointed to Ye Nian. A former lover turned into a rival, the talkative Ye Nian used his venomous tongue to make her jump, and at the same time used brain-burning plans to break the situation, and finally revealed the bigger conspiracy behind his ex-girlfriend, and he became the most powerful official in the Ming Dynasty.
