Three hundred years after the founding of the Yan Dynasty, literary trends were weak and the powerful dominated the court. Xie Lin was reborn as a scholar from a poor family, but at the beginning he was pushed down a dry well by the bully of his clan - just because he blocked the way for his cousin to take the imperial examination. When he opened his eyes again, he caught a glimpse of the ancient seals flashing on the wall of the well, and the memories of his past life came flooding back: modern economics, flood control strategies, ordnance drawings... All were engraved in his mind! During the county examination seven days later, he wrote "Ten Strategies for a Rich Country", every word of which was heart-breaking. The powerful minister angrily denounced the "monstrous words to deceive the public", but he didn't know that this was just the beginning of his slap in the face of the world - the Imperial College offered wine to him and begged him to accept a disciple? Does the princess want to see his answer sheet when he calls his name? By the time Xie Lin rode a white horse into the palace for the examination, the scroll of the No. 1 Scholar on the Golden Palace had already shaken the first crack in the decaying empire!
