Shen Yan was just the most inconspicuous scribe in Jinyiwei. He copied confessions, compiled files, and was scolded by the servants. He lived like a piece of waste paper that could be crumpled at any time. Until he discovered that he had the ability to "remember a record" - whenever he came into contact with a secret file, the contents could be completely reproduced in his mind, and even contradictory testimonies, deleted timelines, and hidden relationships would automatically be connected together.
When a seemingly ordinary case of family extermination leads to a three-way struggle between civil servants Qingliu, Si Liquan and the nobles' relatives, everyone thinks that this little scribe is just a scapegoat. But they didn't know that Shen Yan had already memorized every person's background, every piece of perjury, and every piece of secret information. Today he is copying confessions in prison, and tomorrow he can borrow a knife to kill people at the court meeting, making all the high-ranking big shots kneel down and beg him to "check again."
But the more files he remembered, the more Shen Yan discovered: The most terrifying thing about the Jiajing Dynasty was not who was forming a clique, but someone who deliberately made everyone think they had seen the truth. At the end of the secret file, is there the black hand of the imperial power, or is it a shocking scam that can swallow up the entire Ming Dynasty?
