Which one is more exciting to you, the loyal minister whose reputation is passed down through the ages or the powerful minister who holds sway over the government?
Xue Rui, who was born in a family of officials, developed a desire for power under the influence of his father at an early age.
But the calm sea cannot cultivate excellent sailors. Border wars, court changes, harem interference in politics, and the constraints of powerful ministers... Each of these incidents is not only a test for Xue Rui, but also a test for Damu Guozuo.
Xue Rui eliminates dissidents, yet has compassion for the humble. He longs for power, but is not cold-blooded. He struggles in the fog of power until the light emerges.
But light will not shine everywhere, and darkness will eventually spread. But at this time, Xue Rui has already found his lifelong pursuit.
