Lin Ye, a top documentary cameraman, was stabbed in the back and fell from a building. When he opened his eyes, he turned into the most miserable king of the Kangxi Dynasty - Aixinjueluo Hongyao. The original owner had no favor and power, and his biological mother died young. He was framed for corruption by the Ba Ye Party and imprisoned in the cold palace, with only seven days left to survive.
There is no system, no prediction, and no black technology. His only reliance is the camera instinct engraved in his bones. Use the macro lens to see through the flaw in the cuff silk thread, use the logic of light and shadow to identify the ink marks on forged account books, use micro-expression capture to uncover the undercover agents in the house, and use scene deduction to predict the dangers lurking around.
During the confrontation in the court, the Eighth Master pressed forward step by step. He used details as an edge to expose the shocking conspiracy in public and clear up the grievances; when the inner house was being liquidated, he showed weakness and concealed his strength, purged the rebellious ministers and retained the old troops, and quietly established his footing; during the palace banquet, the officials were arguing hard to resolve, but he solved the mystery with a glance of details, and unexpectedly caught the eye of the emperor.
The undercurrent of seizing the rightful son in Kowloon is raging. The eighth master is hypocritical, the fourth master is forbearing, and the prince has hidden ulterior motives. All forces are watching. He does not take sides or show off, pretending to be an idle prince, but he uses the camera as an eye to see through the treachery of people's hearts, dismantle the chessboard of power, secretly plot the power of the court, and recruit loyal and brave generals and honest think tanks.
From the down-and-out prince who was imprisoned and waiting for death to the invisible chess player who stirred up the storm, he did not rely on cheating, but only relied on his professional instinct to crush everyone. There is no struggle for the reserve but the reserve is there; no power is seized but the power is in hand. A cameraman uses light and shadow as the blade to determine the world of the Qing Dynasty with his mirror!
