Year, Ren Shen. In the fifth year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, and the sixth year of the Tiancong reign of the Later Jin Dynasty. Li Xiaohun, a college student, transmigrated into a mentally challenged pawn in a place called Niuti Dun, in the Andongwei region of Shandong Province.

In such a perilous situation, how will Li Xiaohun survive and thrive in the turbulent times of the late Ming Dynasty? In fact, I have always felt that compared to grandiose ambitions of conquering the world immediately and changing the world overnight, the protagonist Li Xiaohun's gradual transformation of the destinies and joys and sorrows of the ordinary people of the late Ming Dynasty in his daily life and in the process of his gradual rise, should be a more realistic and down-to-earth highlight.
