This drama is adapted from the famous online novel "Return to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince". It tells a series of stories about Zheng Shaopeng, a good man of the ninth generation of Wulong, who returned to the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. By mistake, Zheng Shaopeng, a good man of the ninth generation of Wulong, returned to the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. It was a colorful era, with the evil of the Eight Tigers of the Capital, the romanticism of the Four Talents of Jiangnan, the heart-learning of the great Confucian Wang Yangming, and the absurd Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao. The protagonist who stepped into this world in a daze had to deal with all kinds of people for his own destiny. The disputes between the East Factory, the West Factory, the Inner Factory, the Outer Court, and the Jinyiwei; the story of eliminating corrupt officials on behalf of the emperor; suppressing Japanese pirates, driving away Tatars, destroying Duzhan barbarians, fighting Portuguese; opening the sea ban, immigrating to Siberia..., wonderful stories are coming one after another... The fate of the country and the individual is like a boat in the long river of history. Because of his accidental appearance, will this giant ship, which was originally destined to decline, deviate from its direction?
