The Dayin Dynasty was in turmoil, and there were turbulent undercurrents beneath the surface of prosperity. A down-and-out prince who returned to Beijing, a cold-blooded medical woman with a blood feud, and a group of powerful officials and nobles with their own hidden agendas competed, betrayed, and exploited each other in the whirlpool of power, wealth, and hatred. Every seemingly desperate comeback hides a deeper conspiracy; every seemingly sincere alliance is just a springboard to greater betrayal. When the layers of hypocrisy are reversed and the mask of hypocrisy is torn apart, everyone is stained with blood and no one is innocent. Only the more evil ones can survive to the end.
Reader comments
It was depressing and true after reading it. The only regret I have is the last lie told by Shen Zhou before his death. But Xiao Jue was the only one who didn't know about this lie, but it was like falling into an ice cave. The only warmth in my heart was wiped out by those last words. There is no sweetness in the extra chapter. What a bitter life.
I just started watching it, and it was pretty good.
It's all machinations, and the emotional line is thin.
The plot of the novel is so gripping that you can't put it down [Like][Like][Like][Like]
