Lin Yue, a high school history teacher who once served in the army, traveled to the thirty-eighth year of Wanli and possessed an orphan boy in a mountain village, raising his seven-year-old sister alone. He made his first pot of gold by making chili sauce, and became famous while preparing for the imperial examination. When he was wrongly imprisoned, he relied on his knowledge of modern criminal investigation to prove his innocence, and was awarded the title Shouzhi by the county magistrate. By chance, he met Lu Zhou, another time traveler with a background in special warfare, and the two became each other's arms. At that time, Wanli had not been in court for a long time, and the circle of scholars was solidified. Scholars talked about benevolent politics and secretly formed groups to suppress poor families. Lin Yue broke through the situation with his knowledge and stepped into the whirlpool of officialdom step by step. With his modern vision, he found a way to stay upright and save the world in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty.
