The imperial city is majestic, the red walls are stained with blood, and the road to imperial power is never smooth. He/she was originally a marginalized person in the depths of the palace, or became an abandoned son because of his lowly birth mother, or lay dormant and forbearing because of the injustice done to his family, with his/her intelligence hidden under the mask of gentleness/coldness. When the storm of seizing the rightful son sweeps across the government and the public, all the kings have different intentions, and the courtiers and party members are united in fighting against their differences. Even the relationship between father and son has become a bargaining chip in the power game. If you retreat, you will die and your family will be destroyed, but if you advance, there is still a glimmer of hope.
From then on, he/she uses forbearance as a shield and resourcefulness as a blade, and sets up a shocking chess game step by step. Above the court, use the opportunity and strength to resolve open guns and hidden arrows, and quietly accumulate strength in the game of hundreds of officials; in the harem, see through the conspiracy hidden in a smile, and turn all forces into a ladder to the top; outside the battlefield, unite with secret allies, and use thunderous means to control military power and wealth. From being trapped in a desperate situation to surviving, to turning the tables on the situation and making a comeback, every step is on the edge of a knife, and every game hides the secret of reversal.
When the once abandoned son stands on the top of power, when the blood under the palace is paved with the road to the emperor, looking back, it is the tearing of family ties and intrigues, the intertwining of trust and betrayal. This huge gamble with the world at stake will eventually come to a conclusion in the intrigues - who will have the last laugh, take charge of the world, and become a legend of hegemony?
