On the night of the palace coup, the King of Jin forced the palace, and Luo Yunshu was in a desperate situation and was helped to the throne by the powerful minister Xiao Zhi with iron-blooded means. However, he discovered that this "life-saving grace" was actually a plan for Luo Yunshu to seize the power of regent. As a puppet emperor, Luo Yunshu secretly cultivated power, and repeatedly tested and pulled Xiao Zhi in the court.
In the face of ensuing crises such as local rebellions, aliens going south, natural disasters and famines, the two went from confrontation to tacit cooperation. Luo Yunshu showed his amazing political talent, and Xiao Zhi also developed an appreciation and affection for the "puppet" emperor in the test of blood and fire, but they were always wary of each other because of the power game.
At the peak of his power, the truth about Luo Yunshu's former dynasty's orphan's life experience was exposed, triggering a crisis in the legitimacy of his governance. Xiao Zhi's past crime of framing Zhongliang for his own purposes was also revealed. The trust between the two completely collapsed, and Luo Yunshu was forced to throw Xiao Zhi into a prison.
After Xiao Zhi was imprisoned, hidden forces from all parties counterattacked, and the country fell into a greater crisis. Luo Yunshu became truly independent in a desperate situation, stabilized the situation with extraordinary courage, and finally reconciled with Xiao Zhi before the national crisis in order to win a thousand miles away. The two transcended their personal relationship and became partners with similar ideals. After the world was settled, Luo Yunshu created a new system, while Xiao Zhi went overseas to open up future territories and horizons for the country.
The entire work revolves around the game of imperial power, the mystery of life experience, and the righteousness of family and country. It interweaves the growth of the emperor and the bonds between monarchs and ministers, and composes a magnificent chapter in which the mountains and rivers are stable and the sun and the moon are new in troubled times.
