His parents were dead and his family was in ruins. The Xie family from a well-established family bribed the examiner to kill him before the provincial examination. The corruption of clan politics and the dangers of land annexation - these insights that transcend the times are his only weapons.

From a poor family, two generations of dynasties, and thirty years of power play, he finally became the chief minister of his generation.
But power eventually turns to dust. Only the system can truly give hope to the children of poor families.
