Traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, Wei Linchu, a top student in history, became the nephew of 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian.
He knew very well that eight years later, when Chongzhen ascended the throne and the eunuchs were all executed, he would inevitably die.
In order to find a way out of a certain death situation, he transformed into a "poisonous man" and sneaked into the abyss of power.
Using modern thinking to lay out hidden plots and plots, he dealt with Wei Zhongxian, the Hakka family, the Donglin Party and the emperor.
While eradicating dissidents for the eunuchs, he secretly saved the country's destiny;
While calculating people's hearts, he faces the torture of conscience.
He is the sharpest sword of Nine Thousand Years Old and the last secret move before the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
And when the torrent of history rolls in——
Did he die as a martyr, or find another life?
A battle of wits and intrigue, a game of life and death, a dilemma between love and loyalty...
A fateful race against time begins.
