History's most artistically gifted thief travels back in time to the fourth year of Emperor Huizong's reign in the Northern Song Dynasty. As a servant in the Duke of Qi's mansion, Shen Ao is blissful. Knowledge changes destiny, IQ determines future. Everything else is fleeting; look at me, I can cover the sky with one hand. This is art, this is about taste. He forges the finest masterpieces, writes the most beautiful cursive script, and unconventionally follows the path of deception.

The third year of Hongwu.

When Zhu Yuanzhang established his rule over the world, many things needed to be done.

There was a loud bang on a clear sky, and Deng Qianqiu came into the world: "Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. Time is money, and a thousand gold cannot buy a moment. From now on, this is the ancestral motto of my Deng family. Dad, I wrote this especially for you, you must remember it."

Important notice, The Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty, also known as “Ming Song”.

Hongzhi eleven years.

It’s a beautiful morning.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was just an adult.

At this time, Wang Shouren and Tang Bohu were sharpening their swords and preparing for the imperial examination.

At this time, the Little Ice Age has come, and the long and severe cold is raging on the earth.

At this time in Nanhebo’s mansion, Fang Jifan, the idiot son of the landlord’s family and Nanhebo’s direct heir…began his shameless prodigal life.
