What if you have to become a dragon to slay one?
What would you choose?
Su Heng transmigrates as a top-ranked scholar of the Song Dynasty. At first, all he wants is to be an upright civil official.
But after being jailed three times for his honesty and exiled a thousand miles for his ideals, he finally understands: in the late Northern Song court, being kind and pure is a crime.
Su Heng's choice is to become the most ruthless powerbroker in the Northern Song.
He uses factional strife to rise through the ranks, climbs to the top over the shoulders of his political enemies, and uses schemes to clear one obstacle after another.
Yet he always holds fast to a line he will not cross: corruption can be tolerated, but harming the people must be stopped; political tactics can be used, but the foundations of the state must not be shaken.
This contradictory ruler is merciless in court, yet among the people he is known as the incorruptible Su.
Only in the end does he discover that before the absolute power of the emperor, every calculation is futile.
When the emperor needs you, you are a pillar of the state. When he fears you, you are only one cup of poison away from death.
In the end, his ruthless ambition becomes the path to his own destruction.
