The cold rain in the poor house wetted the washed white shirt. Pei Yu, 20 years old, stepped into the ever-changing dynasty with unwillingness and ambition. He has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a stern face, and every step he takes is steady and determined, knowing that only power can change destiny.
When he first entered the court, Pei Yu was in deep trouble. The powerful minister Zhou Hongjian regarded him as a thorn in his side and repeatedly framed him in an attempt to expel him from the battlefield of power. When Pei Yu was isolated and helpless, the kind-hearted and intelligent princess Xiao Yuerou was attracted by his talent and integrity, and secretly fell in love with him. She not only recommended him to the emperor, but also silently supported him behind his back. At the same time, the knight-errant Chen Mobai met Pei Yu by chance and was impressed by his personality. They became close friends and rescued Pei Yu many times at critical moments of life and death.
As Pei Yu's influence in the court gradually increased, although he overcame obstacles along the way, he also paid a heavy price. Every advance is accompanied by conspiracy and traps; every victory puts friends and loved ones at risk. The temptation of power opens its arms like an abyss, and the thread of friendship is in danger under the sharp blade of power. Pei Yu struggled in the whirlpool of power, wandering between friendship and dominance. How should he choose? Should we give up the imperial throne and return to ordinary life, or should we break through obstacles and achieve a generation of hegemony?
