Lin Zhao, a modern history teacher, travels back to ancient China and becomes a penniless magistrate who can barely feed his yamen runners. On his first day in office, he confronts Zhou Chen—the prefect and nephew of a powerful minister—who is seizing a girl and embezzling disaster relief silver. Seeing the people’s tears, he suppresses his fear and arrests Zhou Chen. Little does he know, the “old scholar” in the crowd is the emperor on an incognito visit. Impressed by his integrity, the emperor summons him to tutor the crown prince. Using modern knowledge, Lin Zhao teaches the prince to equalize land and build waterworks, turning deficits into surpluses and bringing prosperity to the people. The once-penniless magistrate accidentally becomes a famous minister who founds the “Zhaoming Flourishing Era.”
