In a dynasty where women were respected, the status of men was low, and few became officials in the dynasty. Young Lin Heng was sold as a slave into a powerful man's house since he was a child. He has a handsome face and a simple and docile temperament. Everyone thinks that he is a soft persimmon who can be manipulated. However, no one knows that beneath the skin of a puppy, there is a heart as calm as iron.
In an accident, Lin Heng rescued the empress Xiao Lingshuang who was on patrol incognito. He was promoted to the court under special circumstances and stepped into the center of power. In the court, he never takes the initiative, always gives in, greets people with a smile, and seems to have no ambition. But every concession is carefully planned; every show of weakness is to lure the snake out of its hole.
Those powerful people who thought he was easy to bully unknowingly fell into the web he weaved, and their reputations were ruined, but no evidence could be found to point to him.
Empress Xiao Lingshuang initially regarded him as a chess piece, but gradually discovered that this chess piece had never been truly controlled by her. The situation in the court was changing, and foreign enemies were watching eagerly. Lin Heng, as a male minister, worked step by step to quietly hold the power of the entire dynasty in his hands.
He never said he wanted to fight, but he never lost.
