[Two Male Leads] [Transmigration] [Two Powerful Leads] [Light Court Intrigue]
He, Lu Yunhe, was just a good-for-nothing college student who blurted out, "Wouldn't it be great if I were emperor?" during finals week. After staying up all night studying, he transmigrated into the young emperor Yun He of the Great Yan Kingdom! The court is full of officials with hidden agendas, and undercurrents churn beneath the surface.
His imperial tutor, Grand Tutor Su Shian, is a man of extraordinary talent and unmatched cunning. Though people say he is a refined gentleman, he is always strict with Yun He. At first, Yun He resists, but after one court crisis after another, he gradually realizes that for now, he has no choice but to cooperate with Su Shian. He tries to change the era with advanced ideas from a hundred years in the future, but amid endless constraints and schemes, he ultimately succumbs to the fate of enjoying power and playing political games.
"The crown is a curse of power."
At court, Yun He obeys Su Shian in everything, and rumors have long spread that a powerful minister is manipulating the puppet emperor. Outside the court, however, the sovereign and his minister each have their own agenda. They navigate the whirlpool of political intrigue, suspecting each other even as they have no choice but to rely on one another.
The tenth year of Taichu.
A spring edict, a lone soul, and that faint, tenuous bond was severed.
From then on,
Years of life and death parted us; my soul never once came to visit in a dream.
