In troubled times, when people were displaced and starved to death everywhere, young Chen Yan climbed out from the pile of corpses of refugees. With his craftsmanship and unparalleled resourcefulness, he survived from a ruined temple, established himself as a small official, and stepped into the glory of Beijing step by step. He made plans to shock the palace, purge the eunuchs, run the army with an iron fist, provide disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River, quell the feudal rebellion, and attack the barbarians in the north. With a humble family, he swept through the three major forces of the court family, powerful eunuchs, and vassal kings. He eventually became the first minister of the cabinet and was granted the title of Marquis Yongning, single-handedly creating the "Jianlong and prosperous age."
Throughout his life, he lived up to the world and his original intention, and he lived up to Xie Lingwei, who stayed with him in troubled times. He was married to a bright matchmaker with red makeup for ten miles, and he still had one wife and one person with all the power in the world. He is not arrogant about his achievements, but humble when he is prosperous. In his later years, he retires after his achievements and enjoys the years with his lover. He will be remembered in history as "the first prime minister of the ages".
