Qin Zheng governs Hongtong County, revolutionizing agriculture and diligently improving local administration. Through advanced governance methods, he transforms the county into one of the wealthiest and most prosperous places in the Great Xia Empire. To avoid political turmoil at court, he deliberately conceals his talents, keeps a low profile, and lives quietly. When the Empress secretly visits in disguise, she discovers the smooth official roads, highly productive farmland, and his remarkable approach to governance, uncovering his extraordinary talent. The Empress, usually known for her decisive and ruthless rule, sets aside her imperial dignity and becomes determined to recruit him, insisting that this hidden talent must be brought to the capital and entrusted with an important position.
