During the Zhou Dynasty, six forces competed with each other. Xu Xiaochen, a son of a down-and-out family, accidentally got involved in the palace struggle, and relied on his humor and wisdom to maneuver among various forces. He teamed up with the heroine Su Wenbai and his best friend Song Tianci, fighting in the treacherous arena and court, and suffered repeated defeats. Queen Xu Lingshuang and Li Xiaoyao, the son of a powerful minister, are fighting openly and secretly, while Lin Banxia stirs up the chess game as a mysterious person. The four volumes of the story respectively advance the plot from the power struggle to the climactic decisive battle, with both humor and ups and downs. Finally, a new power pattern is ushered in, and the protagonists also gain their own growth and liberation.
