During the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the genius brother Gu Yan was sent to the Beiyuan Prison on the dual charges of "economic corruption + insinuating government affairs" because of a travelogue that his political opponents had tampered with and falsified accounts.

There are only two things he wants in his life: his brother lives and the Song Dynasty doesn't die.
