Shen Yan, the son of a guilty minister, returned from time travel and was blamed for the murder of his clan. However, due to his tainted identity, he could not even enter the main entrance of the county government. He gave up the road in front of the stage and chose the most dangerous path behind the scenes: by copying books, running errands, and settling accounts, he traveled through the streets and alleys of the county to record the context of the city; by borrowing his father's old favor, he recruited the low-level clerk Zhao Xiaoyi as a loyal white glove.
He is nameless, has no position and no power, but he is making progress at every step, secretly setting up a backhand on the muddy road, and taking advantage of the desperate situation to gain power. From a handyman in the county town to a manipulator behind the scenes, he will use his lonesome courage to overturn old cases, restore his family's glory, and ascend to the top of power!
