[Plot + Game + History + Time Travel]
Lu Mingyuan, a history student, opened his eyes and became an unknown scholar in Bianjing during the Xuanhe period.
At this time, Cai Jingquan was in power, and the whole court shouted "Fengheng Henan"; the Jin cavalry sharpened their swords, and Fang La's rebel army set fire to the prairie fire. But the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were still singing and dancing to promote peace, waiting for the butcher's knife of Jingkang's shame to fall.
Lu Mingyuan knew that history did not have much time left for the Song Dynasty.
He originally wanted to keep growing, but when he improved farm tools and proposed strategies to control rivers in Taixue, and gradually rose to prominence, a decree pushed him into the center of the storm - the powerful empress Zhao Yingluo secretly came to her door: "I can help you bring down Cai Jing, on one condition - guard this country for me."
From improving firearms to uniting with loyalists such as Li Gang and Zhong Shidao, from going against all opinions to "recruit Fang La to fight against foreign enemies", to the thrilling life-and-death game in the court... Lu Mingyuan thought he was rewriting history.
Until he discovered that a familiar gunpowder formula came from the Jin man's camp. A craftsman who shouldn't exist is helping the Jin people forge weapons for siege.
Deep inside the palace, a new spy was already lurking, staring at him coldly.
The countdown has not stopped yet. The real war to subjugate the country has just begun...
