Shen Qingyan, the top scholar from a poor family, stepped into the center of the storm as soon as he entered Beijing.
He is upright, upright, and cares about the people, but he does not understand the rules of the court——
Loyalty will be exploited, goodwill will be trampled on, and sharpness will lead to murderous intentions.
In Yun'an County, he saved all the people from fire and water with his passion;
Back in the capital, he became a thorn in the side of the strict party, a chess piece in the prince's game, and a bait for the emperor's temptation.
His mother followed him to Beijing and was his only weakness;
The appearance of Su Jinning was a turning point in his fate.
She is cold, she is strong, she is mysterious, and she always takes action when he is at his most desperate.
She said: "Shen Qingyan, you can't die yet."
But never explained why.
With the undercurrent in the court and the fight for the throne, he was forced to grow up quickly;
In the midst of intrigue and deceit, and on the thin line between life and death, he learned to endure, fight back, and even... Kill.
From a poor scholar to a lonely minister in the court,
Shen Qingyan's road is full of thorns and murderous intent.
He has no backing, no power, and no way out.
The only thing I have is a heart that refuses to give in.
"If no one in the world dares to speak out, then I will be the only lone minister in Beijing."
