    Yang Guang was not born cruel. His path to the throne was fraught with danger. He spent half his life in power through forbearance and scheming. He reformed the bureaucracy, weakened the power of the nobility, built the Eastern Capital, and dredged the Grand Canal. He was full of controversy, but he had a national ambition that no one understood.

    The story begins with two naked men, forced to use leaves to cover themselves, and even getting stung by a caterpillar [laughs]. Their soap-making skills are weak and ineffective, and they dare not poison the treasury. After finally managing to make soap to present as a treasure, it gets stolen and eaten. There's a money-grubbing man 1 and a power-hungry man 2. A woman 1 who loves telling lewd jokes. A woman 2, beautiful and with a slingshot in hand, who has dreamed of being empress since childhood. The two male leads constantly ridicule and expose each other's shortcomings. No system, no cheat codes, just these two brothers using their wits, tricks, and hard work to survive. Humorous and funny, with a convoluted plot, striving for realism.
