One hundred and fifty years after the founding of the Zhao Dynasty, under the brocade of the prosperous age, there were official careers monopolized by powerful families, completely annexed lands, hungry refugees everywhere, and a country in turmoil.
Shen Yan, a scholar from a poor family, came from the turbulent waves in Haozhou. He had "Strategies for Flood Control" in his mind and hoped to save the people. He knocked on the royal gate of the capital with his body in white. He does not understand the power and detours, and only knows the three words "people are the most important". Every step of the way is thorny, but he has to buck the trend and implement new laws in order to fight for a glimmer of hope for the people.
Tao Yiliu, an orphan left by a river worker, hid in the market place, using medical divination maps as a blade to weave a web of refugees. She understands the turmoil of the world better than Shen Yan, but she is willing to accompany him through fire. She does not seek to be famous and pass down the history, but only seeks the fire of the new law to be passed down among the people.
There is also the calm and mellow Li Mo, who continues to live for the new law in the cracks of the court; Su Wei, who comes from a wealthy family, uses the pen of a historian to preserve the truth for the losers; the scheming Zhou Xian, in the name of "□□", obstructs the reality of the law; the emperor Zhao Zhao, who cannot help himself, repeatedly sways between imperial power and the common people; Xiao An, the iron-blooded border guard, uses his iron cavalry as a shield to protect every inch of the new law...
A group of people, one heart, one road.
They are the pawns in the court game, the dust of the torrent of history, and the losers whose names have been erased in the history of history.
But they insist on using flesh and blood as fuel to burn themselves out and illuminate the long night of troubled times.
History books will decay, monuments will rot, but only the memories in the smoke of the people will never be erased year after year.
Intention: Study hard and make progress every day
