In his previous life, Wei Changyuan was a general who was full of loyalty, but he was framed and his whole family was destroyed, with blood spilled on the spot. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in a small courtyard of a poor family. In this life, he became a down-and-out scholar, wearing a washed-white blue cloth gown, but secretly holding the chess piece that changed his destiny.
After being reborn, he will not make the same mistakes again. In the imperial examination field, he stood out with his amazing knowledge; in the court, he used his cold and profound strategies to maneuver among the powerful officials. Faced with Zhao Jinghuan's arrogance and Cao Hong's insidiousness, Wei Changyuan, with the full protection of Helan Qingwan and the chivalrous help of Gongsun Yu, resolved the crisis time and time again. And Shen Moqing, like the gentle moonlight, sorted out his thoughts in the quiet night and helped him gain a foothold in the whirlpool of power.
The road to power is startling at every step. Every careful layout is thrilling, and behind every victory are countless sacrifices. Once, he firmly believed that loyalty could bring peace to the world, but now he knows that only by controlling the overall situation can he turn things around.
When the truth is revealed to the world, how should he deal with those former betrayers? If you finally regain power, how can you stick to your heart and avoid falling into the dark abyss that you once hated?
