The Yan State wisely plans the rivers and lakes, and everything is in control. Dong Xianyu originally came from a humble family, but was accidentally involved in the official whirlpool; Li Xiaoman, a young shopkeeper in the capital, dares to hate and dare to love, and got to know the protagonist group because he rescued Jiang Jian, who was accidentally imprisoned. Gu Jinse, a talented girl from a high family, is ambitious and unwilling to give up, while Bai Chengtan is smart, funny, and constantly reversing. The story takes the struggle of Dong Xianyu, Jiang Jian and Li Xiaoman as the main line, intertwined with Gu, Bai, Lu and other lines, humorously revealing the power of the temple and the various trends among the people. The daughter of a powerful minister inquires about her fate, the prime minister forbears from the plan, and the fates of common people, scholars, and dignitaries collide. The three volumes begin with "Trouble in the Market", "Undercurrent in the Temple" and "New and Old Songs of Dayan" respectively, and finally conclude with the separation and separation of people's encounters and the changes of the times. The various aspects of life are either humble or dazzling, with machinations, sorrows and joys shared through weal and woe. Each line is tied between absurdity and warmth, showing the multiple games of life and power.
