In the Dajing Dynasty, undercurrents surged above the court. Lin Yichen, a "salted fish" young man who originally wanted to eat and die in his own backyard, unexpectedly became the top scorer in high school. He originally thought that after being named on the gold medal, he would be able to retire and return to his hometown and live a leisurely pastoral life. Unexpectedly, with such great grace, he was directly appointed as an official in the court and became a close minister of the emperor.
From then on, Lin Yichen's "fishing" plan started a fierce collision with the intrigues and intrigues in the court. On the surface, he is gentle and gentle, but in fact he is sinister and lazy. He is committed to passing off all difficult errands to others and simplifying all complex interpersonal relationships to "you can lie down and never sit down." However, fate always plays tricks on him. Every time he seems to be perfunctory and every unintentional "stroke", he can always solve the problems between the DPRK and China, resolve the crisis, and even inadvertently reveal a shocking conspiracy.
Faced with the admiration of his colleagues, the respect of the emperor, and endless troubles, Lin Yichen just wanted to look up to the sky and sigh: I really just want to be a quiet and beautiful man, why do you have to force me to be a model worker? His goal in life is to successfully turn the high-risk profession of "No. 1 Scholar" into a relaxing and enjoyable retirement job without being discovered.
