Ordinary office worker Lin Xiaoman wakes up to find himself a newly crowned fake emperor! The Empress Dowager wants to kill him for his “false identity,” while the Empress resents him for “neglecting” her—both plot to end his life with open and hidden tricks. Desperate, he meets Gu Zhao, a general excluded by the royal family—using modern workplace “resource integration” to help Gu Zhao recover withheld military pay, surprising the cold general who begins to look at him differently. When the Empress Dowager and Empress’s usurpation plot is exposed, Lin Xiaoman teams up with Gu Zhao to form a “counterattack alliance”: using business negotiation’s “retreat to advance” to silence the Empress Dowager, and “goal decomposition” to break the Empress’s poison scheme. In the end, he saves his throne and laughs as the two reap what they sowed—yet why does Gu Zhao’s gentle gaze under the armor look more and more like “affection”?
