Yin Zhi, a poor student, died unjustly and was reborn three years before the imperial examination. In his previous life, he was framed to death for exposing the corruption of the noble family, and half of the fragments his mother left behind to protect him were also taken away. After his rebirth, Yin Zhi took the memory of his previous life and transformed into a profound strategist, using information to make progress step by step. He must rely on the emperor's secret support for the poor family to resist the joint suppression of the three major noble clans without revealing his reborn identity. Faced with the close friends who betrayed him in his previous life, the mentor who framed him, and the powerful people who took advantage of him, Yin Zhi not only wanted to avenge his hatred, but also protect the people he cherished. He also wanted to become the sharp knife that cut off the lifeblood of the family in the gap between the noble family and the imperial power. As the day of the imperial examination approaches, Yin Zhi must break out of the deadlock set by the nobles. Otherwise, not only will he die, but the hope of the poor family's rise will also be completely destroyed.
