A poor family, two souls. Jiang Yan stepped into the stream of imperial examinations with modern thinking. From the head of the county examination to the official appointment in front of the palace, he relied on his insight and courage beyond the times to leave subversive footprints at every step of his climb up the ladder of power. However, the officialdom is like a melting pot, where ideals and reality compete fiercely. When he finally reached the top of power, looking back, he saw the separation of his confidants and beauties, the destruction of his political enemies, and the departure of the innocent boy of the past. Is this a dimensionality reduction victory for time travellers, or a lost path for a lonely person? "Fame in the World" is not only about promotion, but also about a soul's difficult persistence of self and morality in the torrent of history.
