The modern soul travels through the Zhou Dynasty. Chen Yan was born in a poor family, studied hard and rushed for exams, and became the top scholar in high school and became an official in the court.
When he first entered the court, he offended the powerful chief minister and the prince of the East Palace at the same time. He was ostracized by both and was directly demoted to the outside world.
He hunkered down in the local area and took advantage of the factional fight between his mentor and his chief assistant to buck the trend and return to the capital.
In the cracks between the chief minister, the prince, and various forces, he calculated step by step, climbed up the ladder with difficulty, and stepped into the core of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
