Chen Mo, the young director of the Daxia Rites Department, looks lazy and is ridiculed by his colleagues as a waste. In fact, he is the eighth generation shadow emperor of Tianji Pavilion who has been passed down for hundreds of years and has an intelligence network all over the world. Sister Chen Waner was humiliated when her engagement was canceled in public by the second prince Zhao Kang.
Chen Mo secretly mobilized the Tianji Pavilion to collect evidence of Zhao Kang's crimes, and took action at the prince's banquet to expose the scandal of his collaboration with the enemy. He trampled the arrogant second prince under his feet and completed a shocking slap in the face. After the imperial examination, he took advantage of Tianji Pavilion's information to defeat the regent Li Si's plan, supported the geniuses from poor families, and disrupted the court structure.
From then on, Chen Mo shed his disguise as a good-for-nothing, used the secrets of heaven as his chess, and all the officials as his sons, and worked step by step to eradicate powerful ministers, quell internal strife, and fend off foreign troubles. He moved from the shadows behind the scenes to the front, taking charge of the secrets of the great summer and reshaping the order of the dynasty.
