According to Records of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Great Zhou was once a mighty kingdom that lasted a thousand years, with a powerful army and a peaceful, prosperous people. But from the first year of the Zhou calendar onward, its emperors were incompetent and corrupt officials held power. The borders were harried by the Xiongnu, bandits plundered the cities, and war dragged on for five hundred years.
Shang Yong was an orphan raised in a welfare home. From the age of eighteen, he made a living selling books at a bookstore. By chance, he transmigrates to Great Zhou and becomes the son of a Chief Minister who was convicted of corruption and whose entire family was exiled to a frigid wasteland. He thinks he won't live long, but fortunately, before transmigrating he'd been studying Records of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which he can use as a guide to survive these chaotic times.
The original owner of his body had slandered Prince Li's mother at court, leading to her being confined to the Cold Palace, where she died unjustly. This indirectly caused Noble Consort Cheng's death. Zhou Li seeks revenge for his mother and abducts Shang Yong on the way to exile, intending to have him tortured to death. But fate intervenes: Zhou Li dies on the way to the capital, while the original owner freezes to death in the winter, leaving no remains.
Shang Yong transmigrates into the body just as Zhou Li is ambushing the prisoners. See how he uses his wits to survive under the command of the cold-faced prince.
