The story takes place in a setting similar to that of an ancient feudal dynasty. The world is initially settled but there is an undercurrent of power struggle within the palace. The protagonist Tao Mo was originally a commoner from a poor family, but by chance he entered the palace. The activation of the palace fighting system started his journey of counterattack in the palace.
Tao Mo faces many obstacles from the villains led by the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is afraid of Tao Mo's emergence in the court and constantly sets up traps to frame him. If Tao Mo fails to complete the system's tasks, he will lose the system's help and completely lose the opportunity to change his destiny and break the shackles of a poor family. The tasks assigned by the system are extremely difficult. To gain the emperor's absolute trust in a short period of time is an almost impossible task for Tao Mo, who has just entered the palace and has weak connections.
In the complex environment of the palace, Tao Mo not only has to deal with the power struggle, but also faces the dilemma caused by his own shortcomings. The lack of connections makes it difficult for him to perform tasks. At the same time, the rivalry in the court forced him to carefully choose his side. Emotionally, Tao Mo has a difficult choice between the system's mission requirements and his own conscience. He was often spread rumors by other concubines, causing the emperor to misunderstand him.
System tasks have strict time limits, and you will be punished if they are overdue. The complex and dangerous struggle environment in the palace always threatens Tao Mo's survival. But Tao Mo relied on his own wisdom and ambition, and used the skills and props given by the system to resolve crises time and time again. In the end, he successfully reached the pinnacle of power, allowing those who had once despised the humble family to "lay the foundation" for the establishment of a new dynasty, and achieved a magnificent counterattack from a common man from a humble family to a powerful minister in the palace.
