In the thirty-seventh year of Emperor Jingyuan's reign, the court of Dajing had long been tightly controlled by the aristocratic families of Cui and Liu. The imperial examinations were watered down and it was difficult for poor families to leave. Even the royal heirs had to act based on the faces of the aristocratic families.
Xiao Ze is the prince who has the least sense of existence.
I can't hide it anymore, and I can't hide it anymore.
Xiao Ze put aside his gentle disguise and used Shen Qingci as his first pawn to secretly win over all the poor people who were oppressed by aristocratic families. He accumulated strength and made progress step by step. He has to fight the scheming Cui Bingqian, deal with the arrogant and reckless Cui Jingyao, contend with the hypocritical and incompetent prince Xiao Jin, be wary of the Liu family's eager gaze, and even have to deal with more secretive and terrifying forces in the dark.
No one is optimistic about him - how can a "waste prince" with no soldiers, no power, and a poor family background shake the deep-rooted family monopoly? But Xiao Ze decided to change his destiny against fate: he wanted to protect those ambitious children from poor families, he wanted to clear away the grievances of his mother and concubine, he wanted to bring down all the evil-doing families, and he wanted to make the Dajing court no longer have the absurdity of "destiny is determined by birth", and there would no longer be the coldness of living in a poor family.
But he didn't expect that this game, with a poor family as a chess piece and an aristocratic family as the enemy, would be far more dangerous than he imagined. The traps of the Cui family are stacked up one after another, the forces in the dark are pressing closer and closer, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the people around him. Even Shen Qingci's life experience hides unknown secrets.
Twelve years of hiding his clumsiness, and finally breaking through. The good-for-nothing prince VS the powerful ministers of the aristocratic family, the poor man VS the powerful forces
