The background is the late Ming Dynasty, with no system and no martial arts. The protagonist Shen Yan, as a ninth-grade official in the capital, was treated as a "disposable abandoned son" and thrown into the main battlefield of the decisive battle between Li Zicheng and the Ming army. However, with his ultimate understanding of "people's hearts in troubled times" (past life history + screenwriter logic) and his unconventional way of doing things, in an absurd game of "fake imperial envoy turned into real governor", he turned a losing game into a deadlock between multiple forces. Leveling up does not rely on killing monsters, but relies on constantly dismantling lies, reconstructing trust, and selling hope in the four-pronged meat grinding ground of the court, bandits, local powerful people, and Manchus. With a strange "sincerity", you can weave a spider web that no one can be cruel to.
