Shen Xin, a graduate student in the history department of Peking University, died suddenly in the library. His soul was transformed into the fictional young prince Shen Yan of the Zhou Dynasty. He was poisoned by his stepmother, bullied by his cousin, and even dared to laugh at the maid to his face. He originally wanted to pretend He has been living like a fool for a lifetime, but when his stepmother wants to drown him in order to seize the title, he uses modern psychology for the first time to control the executioner to kill the mastermind. The moment blood splashes on his face, he finds that he feels the excitement he has not seen for a long time.
Shen Yan used "fool" as a shield and "poisonous tactics" as a spear to eradicate powerful ministers and balance the government for the young Emperor Jingming. From eradicating the corrupt Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance to plotting to kill the powerful Zhenbei Marquis, he grew bigger and bigger in the shadow of the Dragon Throne, and the way Emperor Jingming looked at him also changed. Appreciation turned into fear, until the glass of poisonous wine in the imperial study was brought to him - he had already calculated this step and poured the poisonous wine into the mouth of the emperor's confidant. In the firelight, he walked into the palace with his sword. Emperor Jingming coughed blood and smiled: "You are finally here. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
On the night when the yellow robe was added to the body, Shen Yan sat alone on the throne in the pink and white palace of the Sixth Palace. He discovered that his favorite concubine Shu was a remnant of the previous dynasty, and the concubine he trusted the most had given him a chronic poison. The only maid who had ever smiled at him in the Hou Mansion had died in the first fire he planned to seize power. He won the world, but lost to himself who stayed up late writing papers in the library and shed tears for stray cats.
