Shen Yanzhi was born in a poor family, and was famous for his astonishing talents. He was the "number one talent in the capital" personally selected by the emperor. He has the world in his heart, and he also hides his ten-year admiration for Su Wanqing, the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. In order to be worthy of her, he burned his anointing and continued to work as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. He worked step by step in the turbulent court and deep house - fighting against powerful ministers, breaking up party disputes, redressing unjust prisons, and finally became the most powerful minister and became the prime minister of the dynasty with overwhelming power.
On the day when he became successful and famous, he finally got to marry Su Wanqing. But with the red candle burning high, he realized that the marriage she had worked so hard to win was just her choice after weighing the pros and cons. She respected him and feared him, but she did not love him. In the deep house, she uses indifference as a shield, and he uses power as a cage. Love and hate are intertwined. Who is the loser in this "Qing Yun Zhi"? He has the power in the world, but he can't hold the person he wants. How will this deep love that was wrongly paid from the beginning end?
