In the Yan Dynasty, the turbulent politics of the court coexisted with all kinds of things in the market. Lu Xingzhou, a young man among the people, stepped on the road of serving as a censor by chance, wandering between the great power and the quagmire of the market. He is intricately connected with Yan Yunying (young emperor), Pei Shanyao (female official), Qin Xiaoyu (childhood sweetheart), Shi Dagui (storyteller), Wang Erlang (palace officer) and other multi-line characters. Some compete for power in the court, and some survive in the market. With the storm of intrigues, the characters grow and differentiate one after another. In the fateful collision of humor, embarrassment and warmth, sadness and joy, the historical torrent will eventually choose its own promoter. Under the three-volume structure, the story lines of the court and the people echo each other, not only depicting the dangers of the power struggle, but also depicting the tenacity and laughter of the life at the bottom, and finally reaching the heart-warming finale when the world changes in the Great Yan.
