This book is based on the real history from Yuanyou to Daguan of the Song Dynasty. It restores the hard-core historical facts such as the old and new party struggles, the wars between Song and Xia, and the scenery of Bianliang. It has no time travel, no system, and no golden fingers, creating a purely Machiavellian ancient drama-level novel. The male protagonist, Wei Lin, comes from a poor family and has no ability to tie a chicken, but he has the wisdom of the world. He is bohemian on the outside, loves to tease beauties, has a thick skin, but is fair and righteous in his heart, and has the common people in mind throughout his life. After being chased by traitors, he took advantage of the general situation to break the deadlock. He fought with the gangs of traitors in the court hall, strategized at the border, retreated the powerful enemy without spending a single soldier, and determined the direction of the court without forming a party. He met Li Qingzhao. Beauties with very different styles, such as Liang Hongyu and Liu Ling, fell in love with each other on a rainy night and were tied together for half their lives. In the end, they rewrote the fate of the Song Dynasty with their invincible resourcefulness and became famous as an eternal counselor who cares about the world and lives up to the common people.
