"Double Stars of the Ming Dynasty: Qingyun Zhi"
At the end of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, a sudden disaster of blood and fire shattered the peaceful life of orphans Chen Wang and Chen Mu who depended on each other. Displaced in troubled times, the two brothers were separated on the way to escape, and they have been separated since then.
Destiny pushed them onto two completely different paths. The elder brother Chen Wang was adopted by Cao Ruyi, the chief eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremonies, and was renamed Shen Cangyun. He was forced to purify himself and step into the palace as deep as the sea. In the treacherous palace struggle, he endured the burden and relied on his extraordinary wisdom to make progress step by step. He grew from a humble inconvenience to the powerful Priest of Ceremonies, secretly weaving a huge web of power.
His younger brother Chen Mu was adopted as the adopted son by a Hanlin scholar who became an official. He inherited orthodox Confucianism and studied both civil and military arts. With the obsession of regaining his family lintel and finding his brother, he emerged in the examination hall. He also became famous for his military exploits during the war at the border. He stepped into the court step by step and became a rising star that Qingliu attracted attention.
During a Lantern Festival, fate reunited them briefly. The younger brother was heartbroken when he saw his elder brother wearing eunuch clothes, and vowed to save him from the "sea of suffering". Little did he know that the elder brother on the other side of the dragon robe was already one of the players in this world-wide chess game.
Above the court, the two met again - one was an internal eunuch, and the other was an upstart from the side. They were strangers to each other, and there was a turbulent undercurrent. The younger brother wants to clear the emperor's side and protect the court, but the elder brother works behind the scenes to clear away the thorns and eliminate political enemies for him. When the edge of idealism collides with the darkness of real politics, brotherhood undergoes the most brutal test in misunderstandings and collisions.
Until a huge conspiracy swept the government and the public, and the two of them were involved in a life-and-death crisis.
