In the troubled times with many wealthy families, Zhai Fu, a young man from a poor family, was regarded as a thorn in the side of the wealthy family in his previous life because he adhered to the sage's way and promoted benevolent government, and eventually died unjustly. After his rebirth, he brought with him the memories of his previous life and was fully aware of the corruption and hypocrisy of the family. In this life, in the face of the prevailing trend of talking about metaphysics, he still paranoidly adhered to the concept of "benevolent government" written on the bamboo slips. However, in order to maintain his privileges, the powerful family obstructed his career at every turn. During the palace examination, the examiner sneered at his "benevolent government" answer sheet. Outside the palace gate, hungry people are eating the lees of wine poured out by the aristocratic family. The situation is critical and public dissatisfaction is about to break out. Zhai Fu not only had to struggle to stand in a court with many powerful families, but also had to face the world's misunderstanding of him. However, he relied on the advantage of his rebirth and took advantage of the conflicts between the clans to gradually expose his evil deeds. Within a limited time, he worked hard to change the situation and implement benevolent government. Although he lost some trusted people in the process, he finally succeeded in breaking the situation and turning things around.
