Zhao Kang, a mere ninth-rank county magistrate, is ordered to govern a destitute border county. Refusing to yield to fate, he leads locals to build roads, launch factories to boost economy, and even invents gunpowder to divert floodwater during a disastrous flood, saving the entire county. All his efforts are witnessed by the empress on a secret inspection. Initially seeing him as a competent minor official, the empress soon discovers his outstanding governance talent hidden among common people. She immediately appoints him imperial tutor and summons him to the imperial court, kicking off this extraordinary rags-to-riches legend.
