Poor ambitions: Yun Zhan, who was born into a poor family, grew up among the piles of military books left by his father. He showed extraordinary strategic talent and aspired to become a world leader. He accidentally rescued an injured old man and obtained half of a mysterious jade pendant.
First test of his edge: On the way to Beijing, Yun Zhan solved the theft of a granary in Qingzhou City, uncovered the conspiracy of the local powerful, attracted the attention of the censor who was secretly observing, and also attracted the tracking of mysterious forces.
Meeting an opponent in chess: After Yun Zhan arrived in the capital, he found that there were many factions in the DPRK. What surprised him most was that he met an opponent of equal intelligence - Pei Yuanzhi, the son of the minister of household affairs. The two met for the first time at a poetry meeting.
Undercurrent: While studying in the Imperial College, Yun Zhan discovered that Pei Yuanzhi was related to the abnormal transportation of military rations at the border, and half of the jade pendant he wore seemed to hide a major secret.
The truth emerged: As the investigation deepened, Yun Zhan discovered that the right prime minister was standing behind Pei Yuanzhi, and that his father's death that year was related to a covered-up border conspiracy.
