Ma Xiaoyi, a retired soldier, was given a marriage to the princess by the royal family because of the prophecy that he could save the empire in the future. However, his fiancée looked down upon him, and the powerful officials in the court regarded him as a thorn in their side. What's even more fatal is that his once most trusted brother, Prince Jinghe, appeared to be brothers with him, but in fact he secretly colluded with the enemy and designed to frame him for treason.
On the eve of his execution, Ma Xiaoyi awakens his "future-predicting" golden finger - whenever he encounters a fatal crisis, he can see key scenes of the next three seconds. With this short-lived but fatal ability, he killed the executioner at the execution ground and kidnapped the prince to escape.
From then on, this man who was abandoned by the whole world relied on his ability to predict and evade pursuit, see through conspiracies, and rise step by step. He foresaw that the enemy country was going to launch a war and made plans in advance; he foresaw that the prince was going to rebel and secretly collected evidence; he foresaw that the powerful minister was going to usurp the throne and set a trap. When the emperor discovered that the son of the prophecy who had been abandoned by him was the real savior, it was too late.
What Ma Xiaoyi wanted to do was not only to overthrow this decadent dynasty, but also to make the prince who betrayed him watch him lose everything.
