|V1 Two male protagonists, Machiavellian. Book reviews will increase later in the year.
In the Dayin Dynasty, the imperial power was in conflict and undercurrents were surging. The third prince, Xie Lin, is a crazy playboy who is shunned by everyone in the capital. He raises dead men and behaves eccentrically, but he hides the most naked desire for power in his eyes. And Shen Yuwei, was once the heir apparent of the powerful Zhenguo Duke. After his family was wronged and he became a prisoner, he relied on his vengeful ruthlessness and astonishing ingenuity to work step by step, vowing to overthrow this man-eating dynasty.
When they first met, Xie Lin was a man in power who played with people's hearts, and regarded Shen Yuwei as an interesting prey; Shen Yuwei was a forbearing and dormant avenger, and regarded Xie Lin as an exploitable pawn. One is so crazy that he uses the most violent methods to protect his secret care; the other is so beautiful that he shows off his sharp edge and weaves a web of revenge with the most calm calculations. They tested, tore, and indulged each other in the chess game of power. They knew that the other party was poison, but they were willing to drink poison to quench their thirst.
When Shen Yuwei stepped on the mountain of corpses and sea of blood towards the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Xie Lin's madness finally found its home - he didn't want thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, he just wanted that little light in his eyes. Lin Qinghan, the counselor who always accompanied Shen Yuwei, and Xiao Che, the general who guarded the border. The friendship that began at a young age eventually became the sharpest knife on the road to power, cutting off all possibilities, leaving only a vague regret in the history books.
