The 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who was in power during the Tianqi period, committed suicide in Fengyang and traveled to the Forbidden City in Beijing in 2026. He found himself trapped in an artifact display cabinet, with a completely unfamiliar modern world outside. With his Machiavellian instincts engraved in his bones and his rich knowledge of the Ming Dynasty court, he escaped from the Forbidden City and met a group of partners with their own unique skills. Using "tomb robbing" as an entry point, he regained a foothold in modern society and gradually revealed the truth about his time travel.
