share time: 2026-09-10 00:34:01

Lin Mo, a modern office worker, accidentally travels to ancient times to become a poor county magistrate of the Great Yan Dynasty, taking over a run-down, desolate city where people struggle and the place is in ruins. Using modern knowledge, he guides locals to plant sweet potatoes for food, builds asphalt roads for better transport, and develops gunpowder for defense. In just a few years, he turns the desolate city into the most prosperous place under heaven. When the capital hears the news, the emperor personally visits, seemingly asking for advice but actually hiding tests. Caught between modern thinking and ancient power struggles, can Lin Mo protect his life's work and carve out a path in this strange world?
