A "Splendid Mountain and River Picture" that has been lost for thousands of years hides the ultimate secret of the Chinese dragon vein. Qin Ji, a graduate student in the history department, accidentally came across the remains of an ancient painting during an archaeological excavation, and his soul was sucked into the Chongning period of the Northern Song Dynasty. The first thing he did when he woke up was to find himself a down-and-out scholar who almost drowned by the Hongqiao Bridge in Bianjing.
The Northern Song Dynasty was an era when culture reached its peak and political undercurrents surged. The aftermath of the struggle between the old and new parties is still lingering, and the disaster of Huashi Gang is beginning to take shape. Under the prosperous Bianjing City, there is a foundation that may collapse at any time.
Qin Ji relied on the knowledge system of modern history to gain a foothold in Bianjing, become famous, and become an official. He participated in compiling the history of the country and discovered shocking secrets from old papers; he surveyed water conservancy and accidentally came across the thousand-year changes in the course of the Yellow River; he redrawn the "Splendid Mountains and Rivers", but was involved in a life-and-death game concerning the destiny of the world.
When the shadow of the golden horse is approaching, when the wheel of history is rolling inexorably, how should a person who knows the future make a choice? Should he go against the will of heaven and change his destiny, or should he follow the general trend? And is that legendary map of mountains and rivers auspicious or a disaster?
Go into ancient books and see history - hidden in the folds of old papers are millennia-old echoes that are more real than official history.
