My name is Shen Yanxing, and I am a ninth-grade official in Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty who specializes in taking the blame for his superiors. The original owner had just been beaten twenty times with a cane for "inadequate performance" and was thrown into the utility room to die. I wanted to run away, but I found an ancestral copper coin in my waist - as long as I "shamelessly" drilled upward, the copper coin would heat up, open up my joints, and find out my secrets. But the price is: every time I use it, my "face" in this world becomes thinner, and one day I will be completely shameless in public. My boss wanted to blame me for the salt tax embezzlement case, and my colleagues were waiting to see me kicked out of the government office. I want to climb up by stepping on their faces: exposing the custody officer in the street for privately changing the account books, and rebelling against the chief accountant in court. From a low-key official to a close official of the emperor, I worked every step of the way, but I discovered that behind that copper coin, there was an old case from my father's generation that implicated the government and the public. And when the copper coin became hot for the last time, there were only two options left in front of me - survive with shame, or tear the world apart.
