An embroidered spring knife can cut off conspiracies and cut off the torrent of history.
A modern soul can see through people's hearts but not their own destiny.
In the twenty-first year of Jiajing, it was a bloody night in the palace.
Lu Yi, a modern top student, opened his eyes and became an ant waiting to be slaughtered in prison. In order to survive, he was forced to wear the fang mask of Jin Yiwei and start from the lowest level as a school captain. In the shadow of Beizhen Fusi, the wailing of the prison is his lullaby, and the strangulation of power is his required course.
He personally experienced the bloody purge of Renyin Palace, and saw the coldness of imperial power in the desperate eyes of the palace maids;
He struggled with the national humiliation of the Gengxu Rebellion, and chewed the humiliation of the "Chinese Dynasty" under the iron heel of Anda;
He dealt with the overwhelming power of Yan Song and his son, and endured the whipping of his soul in front of Yang Jisheng's iron bones;
He galloped through the turbulent waves in the southeast to fight against the Japanese, and when side by side with Qi Jiguang, he ignited a spark of hope...
From the little flag of the imperial guard to the commander in charge of life and death, Lu Yi's every step was dancing on the blade. He uses the glimmer of modern wisdom to find vitality in the cracks of history - detecting strange cases, discerning opportunities, and dealing with wolves. He collected mountains of evidence of Yan Song and his son's crimes, just like collecting slices of this dark era. However, the higher he climbed, the more he found himself trapped in a whirlpool: to be an obedient knife? Or be the flint that ignites the spark?
When Hai Rui's cry of remonstration while carrying a coffin shook the Forbidden City, when Emperor Jiajing met his end due to erysipelas, when the dawn of Zhang Juzheng's reform first appeared... Lu Yi held a secret that could overthrow the dynasty and stood at the crossroads of the times. He knows everyone's ending, but he doesn't know his own return.
