In the fictional dynasty Huatang Kingdom, Xu Wenjin, a third-rate imperial envoy, accidentally gets involved in a "secret edict storm" related to power change. He gets acquainted with colleagues with different personalities such as the vicious-tongued female official Zhang Miaoyin, the arrogant upstart Gao Zhongshan, the upright guard Lin Fuzhu, and the shady eunuch Hu Xiaoman. In the midst of official battles, love affairs, and infighting, everyone formed cliques and pitted each other against each other, performing absurd comedies one after another. In the game of power, they broke through the shackles of fate and witnessed each other's growth. Under the exaggerated and funny overt and covert attacks, they did not lose the brilliance of humanity and rare friendship. As the situation becomes clearer, their final choices between ideals and reality, emotions and power will also affect all sentient beings in the world.
