Liang Junbi, whose courtesy name is Huaijin, is a graduate student in the Department of Modern History. He stayed up late to write a thesis and traveled to the late Northern Song Dynasty. He became a penniless scholar in a small county in the south of the Yangtze River who had just passed the Jinshi examination. The original owner was regarded as a loser by his father at home. His mother died young, so his stepmother and two younger brothers used him as a long-term laborer. Even the expenses for traveling to Beijing to take the exam were paid for by his sister Liang Yunu, who secretly embroidered a handkerchief for half a year. The first thing Liang Junbi did when he opened his eyes after time travel was to count how many grains of rice were left at home, and then he calmly decided: pretend to be cowardly to save his life, and make plans secretly. Deep down, he was more afraid of death than anyone else, but his face always showed the calmness that makes his oars disappear into ashes while talking and laughing. Relying on modern historical knowledge and memory of major trends, he first cleaned up the gang of stupid thieves in the village, and then made a name for himself by "guiding" the county magistrate to control the Yellow River floods, and then stepped into the game. But the torrent of history is more chaotic than what he remembered - the aftermath of Wang Anshi's reform has not yet settled, Fangla's uprising has sparked a prairie fire, and weapons are rising on the border of Liao and Jin. Liang Junbi kept saying "I am a scholar and will not interfere", and his feet were quicker than anyone else's, but in order to prevent his sister from being sold at a low price and to prevent the tragedies in the history books from happening again, he could only bite the bullet and stand at the forefront of the storm again and again. He was scared to death, but no one knew.
