In the thirteenth year of the Chenghua reign of the Ming Dynasty, Fang Yingwu, a history graduate student, transmigrated into the body of a scholar. This is an era in which a shut-in casually reigns as emperor. This is an era without authority. This was also an era where loyalty and treachery, good and evil, black and white were clearly distinguished. This was an era when the country faced no major threats and could be governed by doing nothing. This was also an era of lax law and discipline and lazy official conduct. This was an era that transitioned from high-pressure suppression to a more relaxed and liberating one. This was also an era that transitioned from frugality and simplicity to extravagance and ostentation. Amidst verdant mountains and clear waters, a dream spanning five hundred years begins, and the legend of the wondrous time traveler commences.

This is a Tang Dynasty that has gone astray, with imperial power waning and the empire nearing its end. This was yet another era in which empires and aristocratic families coexisted.

This is the story of a graduate student majoring in Classical Chinese who has been repeatedly thwarted in his job search, and who travels back to the mid-Ming Dynasty and enters the body of a young child in a mountain village. A dull father and a shrewish mother, a whole host of peculiar relatives—the farmhouse courtyard is always rife with trouble. Fortunately, we have thousands of years of historical heritage, the Four Books and Five Classics, and the eight-legged essay; our major is also relevant, so who says it's impossible for a poor family to produce a successful child? As national power rises, the government can govern without any intervention. Lax laws and regulations, and lax official discipline; There were a few treacherous officials, and also some Japanese pirates; But overall, it can be said that this was fertile ground for the free growth of the literati.
