A modern corporate drone accidentally reincarnates as Li Yan, Emperor of the Great Xia dynasty, only to discover his predecessor was a submissive sycophant wrapped around Empress Wei Yun's finger, bringing the empire to the brink of ruin. Snapping to his senses, he publicly puts her arrogant handmaid in her place, confronts Wei Yun, and ruthlessly purges her faction. Reappointing loyal general Han Shizhong and rallying true talents, he invents devastating weapons like repeating crossbows and cannonry to crush Wei's million-strong army and capture its emperor. After uncovering the Empress Dowager's forged edict plot and cementing his throne, the once-servile emperor transforms into an iron-blooded ruler destined to unite the realm.
