On the day of the ceremony, the emperor heard that Renmu suddenly suffered from abdominal pain, and there was an undercurrent in the court;
At the same time, Ji Jiang, a fugitive from the rivers and lakes, was chased by officers and soldiers, and his life hung on a thread.
The next moment, the two of them discovered at the same time——
Pain, hunger, and injuries all happened to each other simultaneously.
One is a young emperor who is responsible for reform but is hampered by powerful ministers;
One is the low-level people who wander in the gray area and just want to survive.
Their identities are very different and their positions are completely different, but they are forced to be tied to the same lifeline:
If one person is injured, the other person will not survive;
If one person is in danger, the other person will be implicated.
At first, they tested each other and disliked each other.
He hated him for being so superior and treating human lives like chess pieces;
He fears that he is lawless and may drag himself into the abyss at any time.
But as the conspiracy approaches and the crisis intensifies, they gradually discover that——
The other party may be his only key to breaking the situation.
On the line of life and death intertwined by the rivers and lakes and the court,
A commoner began to see the emperor's dilemma,
For the first time, an emperor truly touched the pain of the people.
This is not redemption, nor is it forgiveness.
It's a game of being forced to live together——
Let's see who can't hold on first, and who can learn to stop living alone first.
Intent: Power is only established when it is responded to.
