The Mastermind

After his master Beiming Zi passed away, Nie Hongtian, his youngest disciple, descended the mountain to make a difference and bring prosperity to the people. But only when he truly entered officialdom and the jianghu did he come to understand how treacherous they were. Amid countless schemes and power struggles, he also managed to uncover the truth about his origins.

A man and his servant stir up trouble across the Southern Kingdom. They navigate plots, foil schemes, laugh as the world descends into chaos, and discuss the many schools of thought as they rest.
