A modern poor office worker time-travels to the Great Xia Dynasty and becomes a down-and-out scholar with only the title of the third place in the imperial exam. He just wants to laze around and muddle through life, but his inner thoughts are overheard by the empress who is incognito. When the court faces a flood crisis, his casual modern water-control trick is adopted and solves the disaster quickly. Later, when millions of enemy troops press on, his joke "Why fight? Surrender for money" is passed to the enemy, which actually averts the war. Forced by the situation, he becomes the top powerful official in Great Xia, and the empress develops complex feelings for him in their interactions.
