Synopsis

The whole court laughs at me as a useless son-in-law, but behind the scenes, I move the pieces that control the realm. Top-tier political intrigue

For ten years, he has lived as the adopted son-in-law of the Marquis of Huai'an. Everyone in the household thinks he's a useless freeloader.

No one knows that the unremarkable old ledger he keeps close to his chest records the secrets every court official would most like to burn.

When a Ministry of Revenue official dies under suspicious circumstances, he knows who did it.

Even when the marquis merely touches the lid of his teacup, he knows the man is calculating something.

For thirteen years, he has hidden his edge, never once drawing his sword.

He waits for one day. After that, this game will be his to command.
