On the night when the Beining Marquis's house was raided, the eldest son Shen Chizhi only did one thing: first he tied his sister's shoelaces, and then he tightened the old servant's collar.
The next day, he helped the spirit enter the capital, speaking softly and with thorough etiquette. Everyone in the capital said that Mr. Shen should really restrain himself and restore etiquette.
No one knows that he has an extra white jade chessboard in his heart: as long as he accumulates "human fireworks" in his daily life, he can deduce the murderous intention and turning point three steps later. From then on, he boiled medicine for the Queen Mother, warded off disasters for the Emperor, and sent all the killers who came to her door "gently" to hell.
The Queen Mother wanted to tame him into an obedient dog, the Emperor wanted to sharpen him into a handy knife, and all the dignitaries in the court were waiting to see him bow his head.
Shen Chizhi smiled and took it all in.
Then, while no one was paying attention, he moved the chessboard to the side of the dragon chair step by step.
Until someone kidnapped his sister.
Shen Chizhi finally put down the medicine bowl, wiped his hands slowly and smiled.
"What I keep is never etiquette, but my people. Everyone, get on your way."
Powerful plots, palace battles, and world affairs, let's see how this gentle gentleman goes from being the son of a guilty minister to becoming the most powerful person in the world.
