Gu Jin once traveled through time and was caught in a troubled world where the imperial power was strife. He held the memories of his past life and vowed to burn away all the false etiquette with fire. He looked at the court with a cold eye, and with his pen as sharp as a blade, he tore up the old rules and regulations, but he was only afraid of the supervisor Shen Zhaohui - this man was as gentle as jade, but in fact he had a sharp edge, secretly weaving a web, and wanted to reshape the world in the name of benevolence and righteousness. While Gu Jin burned books and established new laws, Shen Zhaohui quietly added the remaining chapters to the books he had burned. One is a madman who subverts the world, and the other is a saint who restores order. The two test and balance each other in the blood and fire. In the end, who is the real one who reshapes the country?
