In the 21st century, Ma Ronggui, a history graduate from Fudan University, a martial arts student since childhood, and a public examination student, was struck by lightning while taking shelter from the rain on his way home. His soul was transported to Majiazhai, Qianshan Mountain, in the late Qing Dynasty, where he was born in 1902, and he was in the body of a seven-year-old boy named Ma Ronggui who was dying of high fever. The two lives have the same name, but they are completely different in the chaotic and desperate situation.
With the mature mind of an adult, he opened his eyes and saw through the corruption and cruelty at the bottom of the late Qing Dynasty: the collusion between officials and gentry, the collusion between officials and bandits was even more rampant, ruffians and bullies were rampant in the countryside, and the poor people had no way to survive.
His native family was weak and could be bullied. When he was young, Ma Ronggui relied on his advanced knowledge to become a private school teacher and started a family workshop. The family economy had already improved. However, his enemies are surrounded by plotters and want to put his family to death at any time. However, Ma Ronggui moves forward steadily, showing off his tricks and fighting bravely! He always worked hard at every step. When his eldest sister got married, she recruited enemies to plot against her. My brother-in-law was maimed!
The blood and tears of close relatives, the suffering in the country, and the unfairness of the world. The reborn Ma Ronggui does not rely on destiny's mercy or ask for charity from the powerful. Instead, he relies on his historical vision, Machiavellian mentality, and toughness to protect his family, avenge blood, seize power, resist the Japanese aggressors, stabilize the country, and know how to advance and retreat...
He has a thorough understanding of the general trend of history, and he is not obsessed with power and position in the Republic of China, nor is he greedy for family wealth. When the regime changed, he took the initiative to donate food to support the New Deal. He also used the top-notch survival wisdom of being a prodigal and abandoning his official position to return to the countryside. He was reputed as a prodigal fool and escaped the reckoning of the times. A song "Song of Reluctance" spread throughout the countryside, and everyone laughed at him for being stupid, but he was the only one who understood and understood clearly.
