Lin Yichen, a modern archaeological team member, travels back to the late Ming Dynasty with an ancient sword, which coincides with the accession of Emperor Chongzhen to the throne. The Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party are fighting to the death, and the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil.
Relying on modern knowledge and ancestral Tai Chi, he traveled between the court and the rivers and lakes, improving firearms and reorganizing internal affairs in an effort to prolong the life of this dying empire.
However, when Huang Taiji's cavalry knocked on the gate and Li Zicheng's war raged across the Central Plains, he truly understood that it was not only the corrupt eunuch officials who needed to be cut off, but also the chronic diseases that were hard to recover from.

When his beloved was bleeding on the battlefield, his hair turned gray overnight, and he finally grasped the sword in his hand, vowing to create a bright future!
