Chen Liang, a brewing engineer at a modern liquor factory, accidentally traveled back in time to the third year of the Qingli reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty during a distilling equipment debugging accident in the distillery, and became the young owner of a dilapidated liquor store in Chenjia Village outside Bianjing City. His father had just passed away, leaving behind three shabby houses, a wine shop and 20 debts. Relying on modern winemaking knowledge—distillation technology to increase alcohol content, improvement of koji, and blending techniques—it started from a small wine shop and gradually entered the Bianjing market. In the business game, he met his confidante Su Waner, the famous prostitute Liu Rushi in Bianjing, and his loyal apprentice Zhang Xiaoqi. He also met strong opponents such as Zhaojia Winery.
As the business grew, Aging Wine was inevitably involved in the court disputes of the Qingli New Deal - liquor tax reform, disputes between government and private enterprises, and the undercurrent of party strife. He must find a balance between business and officialdom, and protect his career and loved ones in troubled times. In the end, Aging established the largest wine trading house in the Song Dynasty, promoted the reform of the wine industry in the Song Dynasty, and also found his own destiny in life during this period of time.
