share time: 2025-10-27 00:32:52

Modern science prodigy Lin Wan accidentally travels back to ancient times as a poor scholar while staying up late on a competition problem. To raise money for the imperial exam, he uses trigonometry to help farmers win land disputes and chemistry to make soap for profit—unexpectedly advancing all the way to the final palace exam. Empress Xiao Zhao initially dismisses him as a 'fraudulent pedant,' until he solves the Yellow River dyke breach with geometric principles and proposes locust plague control using microbiology in the Golden Luan Hall. While all officials are stunned, Xiao Zhao realizes this 'science geek' doesn’t just want to be the top scholar—he wants to help her guard the empire. When a powerful minister accuses him of 'using sorcery,' Lin Wan pulls out his annotated *Mathematics Primer* and smiles: 'This isn’t sorcery—it’s the 'future' that can save people.' And as Xiao Zhao looks at the light in his eyes, she suddenly understands: the empire she wants isn’t just a cold dragon throne, but building that 'future' with him.
