His name is Gu Qingyuan. The people in the capital called him "Living Bodhisattva". But there is a stack of diaries written for twenty years hidden in his study. There is only one sentence on the last page - "I can't hold it anymore."
In the fifty-second year of Kangxi's reign, Cheng Mo, a young man from a poor family, came to Beijing with a copper coin left by his father. He was appreciated by nobles, accompanied by friends, favored by rich ladies, and fate seemed to finally smile on him.
But he didn't know: his mentor who had been kind to him had betrayed his father when he was young; the "Qingliu Leader" who greeted him with a smile, buried in the study the fire that killed four people twenty years ago; and his father's death was inextricably linked to the powerful people of the day, the storytellers, and even the old street performers.
Twelve copper coins spell out a star map, and a ledger is filled with corruption and blood debts. When everyone was teaching him "how to bring down Xu Jie," Cheng Mo was horrified to discover that Mr. Gu, who was impeccably kind to the people of the world, might be 10,000 times more terrifying than a corrupt official.
Because a person without secrets has the deepest secret.
This is not a story of a comeback from a humble family. This is a series of "who is the hunter and who is the prey".
