In the fictional floating world dynasty, Gu Xie, a child of a down-and-out family, originally meant to be carefree, but accidentally got involved in the power struggle in the palace and was pushed into the center of the storm. He has a complex relationship with his friends Xiong Jin and Shi Jing, and is also plotted against by Jiang Yin and Song Huaijin. Several protagonists deceive and achieve each other amidst overt and covert struggles, intrigues, absurdities, and humor, and finally reveal the true face of power. After going through palace coups, public rebellions, and internal struggles among powerful officials, Game of Thrones ended with an unexpected "joke" - it turns out that the most powerful thing is the human heart that does not regard power as the ultimate.
