Shen Xiaotian was originally a minor official from a poor family, but he accidentally got involved in a power struggle in the court. When he first entered the temple, he relied on humor and wit to resolve the crisis, and got acquainted with the court lady Liu Qingru, the Jianghu hero Jia Yutang, the market strategist Su Qiaoer and others. As his power expanded, Shen Xiaotian discovered the traps and temptations behind power, and started a series of games with the prince Li Yuanba and the chief minister Yin Tianquan. In the four volumes, Shen Xiaotian and his companions may not win every time they break the game, but they often face their disappointments with witty ridicule. They continue to mature and change in the confrontation of intrigues and adventures full of laughter. In the end, everything comes back to the overall situation, power is settled, people's hearts are different, plots are everywhere on the road of life, and humor and intelligence are also the way to break the situation.
