Mo Chen was cold and indifferent by nature.
He had a remarkably handsome face, with beauty marks accenting his phoenix eyes and a rosy flush at their corners. Even when he didn't smile, he seemed to hold a trace of warmth.
Utterly aloof and restrained, yet rich and flawless.
Rather than a powerful minister caught in the political vortex of court intrigue, he seemed more like a detached Daoist lord, seated high above the world and wanting nothing.
In his youth, he earned top honors in all three imperial examinations, dazzling the world with his brilliance. After entering officialdom, he weathered its trials and built alliances, climbing to the position of Grand Secretary in just ten years. From then on, he held power over the entire court.
Yet the first thing he did after succeeding was
forget where he came from!
The first thing Mo Chen did after taking power was bring down the senior officials who had helped him. As for those who hadn't, he went straight after them.
He formed cliques for personal gain, showed contempt for imperial authority, sowed chaos in the palace, and persecuted loyal officials. He committed every crime worthy of execution.
He thought the rest of his life would be smooth sailing, letting him do as he pleased. Who could have expected that a serious illness would nearly kill him?
After that, the people around him began revealing their vicious ambitions, while the delusion that haunted his midnight dreams seemed to become a bright moon that could be shattered...
