In his previous life, Zhao Yuan was a graduate student in the Department of History. He stayed up late writing a thesis and died suddenly.

When he finally passed the Jinshi examination, he discovered a bigger conspiracy - Qian Sihai was reselling military rations, and the powerful officials in the court were involved behind the scenes. And the identity of Zheng Xiaodie, who always sings in restaurants, is not that simple...
