Zhang Chang, a modern history enthusiast, accidentally traveled through time while studying the historical materials of Jingkang, and his soul possessed Zhang Bangchang, a young prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was the cold winter of the first year of Jingkang, and the Jin soldiers came to Bianliang City. He was about to go to the Jin camp with Kang Wang Zhao Gou to act as hostages.
Zhang Chang, who is familiar with the complete historical trajectory, knows that there are many crises on the road ahead: Yao Pingzhong robs the camp, Bianjing falls, and the two emperors hunt to the north one after another. Later, the Jin people massacred the city to coerce hundreds of officials and forced Zhang Bangchang to establish the puppet Chu regime. In just thirty-three days, they were walking on thin ice. Even if he took the initiative to return the country and support Zhao Gou, he still could not escape the fate of being demoted to Tanzhou and sentenced to death in Pingchulou.
On the one hand, it is the honor of the ministers that has been praised in Qing Dynasty, and on the other hand, it is the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Bianliang. Zhang Chang did not want to repeat the same mistakes and relied on his prophetic advantage to make many mistakes. Party strife in the court, intimidation by the golden commander, questioning by Qingliu, and suspicion of the emperor came one after another. He wanders between all forces, making difficult choices between morality and survival in troubled times, trying to break the already predetermined tragic ending and write a new chapter in the troubled times of Jingkang, full of struggles and games.
