In the last years of Kangxi, Gu Xingzhou, a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, accidentally got a "Wan Chao Chat Group". The members in the group came from different eras. Some were famous ministers, some were craftsmen, some were generals, and even members of the Qing court clan who did not want to reveal their identities. People in the group cannot directly change reality, but they can provide him with insights, technology, intelligence and human judgment. Gu Xingzhou originally just wanted to rely on this special ability to save his life and survive, but he was involved in a salt fraud case and was involved in the aftermath of the Jiangnan officialdom and the capital's heir apparent. As he gradually borrowed the knowledge in the group to reform the situation, enter the capital, regulate rivers, and quell chaos, he gradually discovered that the real target of the chat group was not just him, a poor scholar, but the crumbling order of the Qing Dynasty.
