Chu Lingxuan, a student from a poor family with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in a white-washed green shirt, lost both his parents when he was young. He has experienced the harshness of the world, and was humiliated by rich children on his way to school. A seed of using power to rewrite his destiny was planted in his heart. He stepped into the examination room with the dream of scientific reporting to the country, but little did he know that a conspiracy carefully planned by Yu Wenba, the son of a powerful official, was coming towards him with all its teeth and claws. Yu Wenba was like a wolf entrenched in the darkness. He could not allow Chu Lingxuan, a star from a poor family, to shine. He framed him for cheating in the imperial examination room. Chu Lingxuan was instantly thrown into a dark prison, and his life fell into a bottomless abyss.
When he was isolated and helpless, his classmate Xiao Yi was like a beam of light, running around to clear his grievances; the current princess Murong Wan was also attracted by Chu Lingxuan's talent and integrity, and relied on her status as a princess to provide him with resources and connections, becoming a warm harbor in his desperate situation. Chu Lingxuan, who was struggling in the whirlpool of power, accidentally awakened the golden finger, gradually mastered the art of power and strategy, and began to seize the dynasty power that symbolized the supremacy. But fate twists people, and his former friend Xiao Yi turns against him because of his different stance; his beloved princess Murong Wan also has no choice but to marry someone else politically because of royal interests. Every step forward, Chu Lingxuan has to pay a heavy price. When the temptation of power collides fiercely with friendship and love, how should he choose? Do you do anything for your ideals, or stick to the original kindness in your heart?
