Story summary:
In the 21st year of Jiajing's reign, the aftermath of the Renyin Palace Incident has yet to be resolved.
Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, the first assistant, was born with a disabled eye and a weak body, but he had ten lines in one eye.
With the name of "ghost genius" and the aura (also the shackles) of "the son of the chief minister", he stepped into the Shura field of power.
This is not a counterattack from a humble family, but a wild dance of "geniuses" at the top of the empire's power.
Is Emperor Jiajing's cultivation of immortality unpredictable? Yan Shifan penetrated the sacred heart and composed its "heart and brain" with exquisite compositions. Qingliu's criticism is overwhelming? However, he used his power to trap political opponents.
Corruption in national affairs? He transformed into a "trader" and weaved a chain of interests between salt and iron, nourishing the strict party and corroding the country's foundation.
He is the shadow of Yan Song and the core of the Yan Party. Under the shadow of patriarchy, he greedily seizes power, plays with people's hearts with his astonishing talents, and shows his brilliance with luxury.
From the beginning of his career to the moment he gained power, the "son of the chief minister" eventually became a sharp double-edged sword in his hands.
At the top, crises are everywhere: the aging father, the forbearing Xu Jie, the turbulent Qingyi, the unpredictable Supreme in the palace... The shadow of prosperity and decline quietly hangs over.
When Yan Song collapses, can Yan Shifan's "genius" stir up trouble again in this desperate situation? From the pinnacle of power to the guillotine in Hainan, these thirty-four years of manipulative life, are they the triumph of calculating destiny, or the tragedy of being unable to escape fate?
Watch the most "ghostly" powerful official in history write a thrilling epic of strategy in the turbulent Jiajing court!
