After dying suddenly from staying up all night, the protagonist transmigrates and wakes to find himself a dying ancient tree, bound to the “National Fortune Reinvestment System.” The System tells him that the empire’s fortunes determine whether the tree lives or withers. The Great Yan Empire’s national fortune index is only 23 out of 100, and he has just three days left to live.
To survive, he secretly uses his roots to disrupt court meetings and trip the regent, Xiao Xuance, who wants to cut him down, while covertly helping the young emperor, Chu Yunxi, reclaim power. When the Crimson Flame Kingdom invades with its “Tree of Calamity,” he faces his natural enemy as the divine tree protecting the nation, uses spirit fruits to awaken spiritual roots in every citizen, and ushers in an age of universal cultivation. He eventually discovers that the regent is the reincarnation of the previous divine tree’s heart.

The protagonist looks dashing writing with his branches, and rather devious secretly eavesdropping on court affairs with his roots. In the end, this tree becomes the faith of millions.
