The imperial power is in conflict, and the undercurrent in the prince's palace is turbulent.
Lin Xiaofan, a five-year-old concubine, was walking on thin ice in the hierarchical palace, until Lin Muyun, an idiot for forty-six years, fell into the pond and woke up, and everything turned upside down.
In the eyes of outsiders, the uncle is still a useless person who talks crazy words, but no one knows that this body hides a modern soul. On the surface, he pretended to be crazy, secretly turned information warfare and psychological games into "cases", and personally crafted Lin Xiaofan into a dark blade.
In the deep pool of the palace, the deduction of expenses, the spying of maids, and the assassination of brothers have all become the whetstone for the grandfather and grandson.
The master taught the art: "Hidden clumsiness in madness, killing people in situations. A real knife must be so blunt that no one can defend it."
From overthrowing the internal treasury steward, to turning his informant into a double-sided chess game; from the Imperial Academy's outsmarting his direct grandson, to shocking the court with his canal transport strategy - Lin Xiaofan tore his way to survival step by step in the chess game controlled by his uncle.
However, the truth about the uncle's fall from the cliff gradually emerged, and the mastermind behind it was actually his second uncle. The huge web of imperial power, military power, and financial power is pressed down, and the blade of the grandfather and grandson is already pointing at the shadow next to the dragon chair...
Those who play chess in the dark will eventually rule the world.
This is a story about dormancy, betrayal and counterattack. Let's see how the foolish uncle and his concubine stir up the storm in the capital.
