After an accident, modern reporter Shen Yan woke up in the Yong Dynasty and became the "prison official" that everyone avoided. The original owner was accused of being involved in the corruption case and was executed three days later.
He relied on modern forensic logic, calmness and tough talk to survive, but he was accidentally involved in a fire in the grain storage, the Ministry of War lost money, and the inner court secrets...
What's even worse is that he met Ning Wang Xiao Chi, who had the most "clean" reputation - he was young, restrained, and as cold as a knife, but he chose to keep him by his side.
As the truth got deeper and deeper, Shen Yan discovered that what he had brought back was not history, but a game that had been laid out long ago.
