Lin Ji traveled through time and became a branch of the Lin family in Yangzhou during the Great Zhou Dynasty, and adopted Lin Ruhai, the censor of the Salt Patrol, as his heir. Faced with the Lin family's crisis and Daiyu's marriage, he tore up the Jia family's marriage certificate and forged the Geng Tie to break the situation. He also saw through Beijing Wang Shuirong's "illness escape" plan at a glance. Using the Salt Administration's account book as a bargaining chip, he formed an alliance with the younger brother of the Tian family to "each get what he needs."
From the misty Yangzhou to the Jinluan Palace, from the Jiangnan Saltworks to outside Yanmen Pass, the two accompanied him all the way: he pulled arrows for him to cure the poison and stayed awake for three days; he blocked the knife for him and fell from his horse, narrowly escaping death. In the court hall, they eliminated salt abuses with both civil and military force; in the flames of war at the border, they lived in the same tent, sharing life and death. When King Zhongshun was betrayed, the emperor was testing him, and worldly criticisms came one after another, Lin Ji swore the knot of unity given by Shui Rong, and Shui Rong used the blood-stained peace charm as his betrothal - "I am the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with."
This is a Machiavellian novel in which a time traveler rewrites the fate of the Red Mansion, and the two male protagonists join hands to rule the court. The word "mutual" is written all over: you are afraid of thunder and fire for me, and I will guard the wind and snow for you; you teach me the art of encirclement and killing, and I finish the chess game for you. In the end, Jin and Luan stood together and never left each other.
