Modern corporate slave Lin Ce time-travels, becoming a beggar who just starved to death, gets struck by lightning and binds with a system, using just a single coin to buy the crisis-ridden Yunan County to serve as its magistrate. The county yamen is heavily in debt, and the previous nine magistrates all died miserably. Relying on his system cheat, teaming up with the sharp-tongued adviser Fang Zhiwei, loyal bailiffs, and other companions, he cleverly uses schemes to raise money and train troops, subjugates mountain bandits, and builds firearms and gunpowder to fight external enemies. Internally, he reorganizes people's livelihood and issues currency, defeating the suppression by Anping County and the imperial court. Breaking through all obstacles along the way, he sweeps away various forces, ultimately ascending the throne to found a country and creating a peaceful and prosperous era.
