In the 16th year of Qiyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liang Ye, a soldier in the northern border army, was struck by lightning during a beacon night watch. The knowledge base of modern civilization from the previous life - physics, engineering, political economics, psychology and social management - appeared in his mind out of thin air. Overnight, he transformed from an illiterate and rough pawn to a monster who could see through the marching route of the bandits, calculate the loss of food and grass, and understand the game between fortification construction and people's hearts.
But on the surface, he is still cold and taciturn, like a piece of ice that cannot be melted. Everyone in the border army scolded him for being withdrawn, weird, and unhuman, but they discovered that before every battle, his bottomless eyes could "guess" all the enemy's movements. Liang Ye doesn't like to talk, he only likes to do things; he doesn't claim credit, but he always takes the lead for others in the most dangerous situations.
He remembers the turning points of the collapse of all dynasties in history, as well as countless abortive reforms, failed firearms, and buried navigation charts. He originally just wanted to survive in troubled times, but he was forced to be involved in the huge meat grinder of the battle for the right to inherit the throne, the invasion of the Northern Desert, corruption in the court, and the separatism of feudal towns. Cen Jiuyuan, his only close friend who walked out from the border with him, gradually turned into a ruthless Machiavellian hunter in the midst of power and fame, and in turn bit him.
Liang Ye had no choice but to use modern wisdom to reduce the dimensionality of the ancient world. He didn't want to play the game of chess in Da Zhou, but he was forced to become the best chess player in the world.
